Users Manual Figure 6 identifies the parts of the measurement display. About Measurements The Meter measures bearing health and the overall vibration condition of a machine. Three types of measurements are available: bearing vibration, overall High Frequency Bearing Vibration vibration, and temperature. Vibration measurement units (CF+) 4,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz are user-selectable.
Vibration Meter About Measurements Crest Factor+ (High Frequency Measurement) Quick Measurement Crest Factor is the ratio of the peak value / RMS value of a A quick measurement is a measurement without setup time domain vibration signal. Vibration analysts use this steps to get a fast measurement for bearing vibration, ratio to find bearing faults.
