The standard measurement mode is the Continuous Sweep mode. [IntelliSWEEP
mode is the standard measurement mode in both Advanced and Expert Shaft levels.]
Measurement may be started automatically when the shafts are rotated or triggered
manually using the
e key. This preference may be set under the “Measurement
options” screen which may be accessed via the global menu or the “Measurement
screen” context menu item ‘Measurement options’.
Other measurement modes are available. The table below gives a guide as to which
measurement mode is ideal for which measurement. In this section we describe the
Continuous Sweep mode. Details on the other modes can be found in section 5.1
‘Measurement modes’.

Standard machines Continuous Sweep IntelliSWEEP
Nonrotatable shafts, sleeve bearings, white
metal bearings, journal (radial) bearings, shafts
that are hard to turn, shafts with herky-jerky
rotation, situations with long spans or severe
misalignment that will readily cause the beam
to fall out of range
Multipoint measurement Multipoint measurement
Vertical machines (four feet or flange mounted) Static measurement Static measurement
Uncoupled shafts Static measurement/
Multipoint measurement

Before proceeding with
rotating shafts, ensure
that the ‘Laser centered’
message [
