How to Collect Standard Vibration Measurements
Press the Shift button (0 / up arrow) to access alternate function buttons:
Log / Linear – Specify the type of y-axis scaling. Typically set to Linear.
Hz / CPM - (Hz or CPM) Specify the x-axis’ frequency units for graphic displays.
As stated earlier, other standard vibration measurements (i.e., Velocity, gE,
Displacement, new) operate similarly to the acceleration measurement.
How to Change the Measurement Setup before Performing the
Measurement
This section describes how to alter a standard vibration measurement’s settings prior to
collecting data. Note that, although we describe setup fields for an acceleration
measurement, all the standard vibration measurements (i.e., Acceleration, Velocity, gE,
Displacement, New) utilize the same setup fields.
 The New measurement icon allows you to set up a new
measurement that is initially based on the standard Acceleration
measurement’s default settings.
To change the measurement’s settings and then take the measurement:
• From the Analyzer screen use the arrow keys to highlight the Acceleration icon,
and press the Setup function button (or the Enter/Fire key). The measurement’s
setup screen displays.
Figure 4 - 6.
The Acceleration Measurement’s Setup Screen (Reduced View).
The setup screen initially displays a “reduced” list of measurement parameters, those
that are more frequently changed by analysts prior to performing the measurement.
The complete parameter list may be viewed using the setup screen’s Expand function
button.
