NOTE
This feature is only available in the Viper II Analyzer.
Use the [
] key to move to the first field in the “Input” column. Use the [
] key to
toggle between the available vibration channels and select the desired input channel.
Use the [
] key to move down to the “Description” field. Enter a name from the keypad
in the description field. (Refer to Chapter 3, “Using the Gen II Analyzer”, if you are
unfamiliar with using the keypad.) The description field is optional.
Repeat the steps above for any additional channels you wish to define.
Use the [
] key to move to the “Full Scale Vibration” field. The “Full Scale Vibration”
field is a toggle selection field. Use the [
] or [
] keys to toggle through the available
selections for the field. The available selections are: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50,
1.00, 2.00, 5.00, 10.0, 20.0, 50.0, 60.0, 70.0, 80.0, 90.0, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150,
200, 500, 1000, 2000, and 5000. This scale refers to the number of engineering units of
vibration amplitude specified in the previous field. The full scale indicates the maximum
vibration amplitude you expect to acquire or the maximum amplitude of interest. Choose
the amplitude that will adequately display the full amplitude of any specified limits as a
minimum. If you do not expect amplitudes in excess of what would normally be
experienced for the equipment application, set this field as low as possible while still
allowing sufficient space to display the maximum limitations as stated above.
CAUTION
Sensors connected to Channel A and Channel B (or Channel C and Channel D in the Viper II) must
be of the same type. Using different sensors during this function will cause erroneous readings
Use the [
] key to move down to the “Sensor” field. Select a sensor type by using the
[
] key to toggle between selections.
Once all fields are filled press the [OK] key to begin acquiring vibration data. See
Chapter 24, “Reading Spectrum and Scales” for a detailed explanation of the information
contained on the acquisition screen.
When finished acquiring vibration data, press the [OK] key to stop.
