Walkthrough
You can measure a machine onsite and analyze the machine's vibration
on your instrument's screen as it occurs. This is a quick way to check a
machine. If required, you can also record your vibration measurements,
save these against a new or existing machine, and transfer the data to
your computer later for analysis.
To measure a machine's vibration using your instrument:
1.
Attach the sensor.
2.
Attach the tachometer if you wish to take rotor speed and phase
angle measurements.
3.
Start the machine you wish to measure.
4.
Wait until the machine is operating at its normal load and running
speed.
5.
Open the main menu on your instrument.

11. Analyze the measurement on your screen — E.g. You can display the
amplitude of spectral peaks and identify harmonics.
