Measurement Methods Screens

Overall RMS values

Measurement of RMS vibration values in the ranges:
10 Hz - 1000 Hz in mm/s,
5 kHz - 16 kHz in g,
with estimated value of machine speed frequency.
Based on the speed and vibration values the machine condition and
a colour of the displayed value - green / amber / red - is determined.

Overall PEAK values

Measurement of peak vibration values in the ranges:
10 Hz - 1000 Hz in mm/s,
5 kHz - 16 kHz in g,
