Prior to setting up your orbit measurement, use the Configuration menu’s Single Shot
or Continuous option to specify the orbit measurement’s display action.
Single Shot operation freezes the measurement when the orbit data stabilizes.
In Continuous mode, the Microlog constantly analyzes and updates the
measurement results until you press Enter to manually freeze the
measurement.
Orbit Setup screen fields are:
 Units, Coupling, and Sensitivity apply to both channels.
Units – Derives the measurement type and units. Note that the type of measurement
(acceleration, acc. to vel., velocity, or displacement) depends upon the type of seismic
sensor used (accelerometer, velocity pickup, or proximity probe).
Coupling – Determines the type of signal acquired for the measurement. Options are:
AC – Acquires the input signal from a buffered output (external) device.
DC – Acquires the input signal from a powered transducer (e.g., proximity
probe), and measures the DC bias (Gap) of the probe output.
