Repeat steps 1 through 7 for all configured channels. 5.1.9.4 Verify Filter Corner Frequencies The general approach for testing these parameters is to simulate the Acceleration signal with a function generator and power supply. The corner frequencies are verified by varying the output from the test equipment and observing that the correct results are reported in the Verification screen on the test computer.

Return the faulty board to Bently Nevada Corporation for repair. 4. Download the configuration for the spare module using the Rack Configuration Software.
Do not use the procedure to compensate for any errors within the monitor and the I/O module. If a monitor does not meet specifications, exchange it with a spare and return the faulty module to Bently Nevada Corporation for repair. The newly installed spare module should be properly configured and tested.
