Reading the Parameters
Eight parameters are monitored by the vibration meter. Two
parameters are displayed at a time; one for each of the bottom
two lines of the Measurement Window. The first line shows a
peak parameter (A
mp
or Peak). The second line shows an RMS
parameter (A
eq
, A
eq4
, A
eq8
, A
max
, A
min
, or Inst). To change the
selection of displayed parameters, press
