    Balance 9.4.7 Enable or disable the runout measurement Runout is an optional measurement acquired using a displacement sensor during a slow roll of the rotor. A slow roll means the rotor rotates so slowly that readings from the sensors only detect mechanical irregularities on the rotor surface, not vibration. Use runout data to help normalize the balance data.
  • Page 215 Balance 9.5.1 Measurement points A measurement point is where you collect a measurement on the equipment. You must define at least one measurement point.
