Option 4 – Integration
Performing a mathematical integration function on Acceleration gives Velocity
whilst integrating Velocity gives Displacement.
Acceleration is a vector quantity and is the rate of change of velocity
with respect to time.
Velocity is the speed at which an object travels in a particular direction.
Displacement is a measure of the movement incurred on an object
from a resting position.
In Custom mode any of the above methods can be used and once selected the
display parameters used for Real Time and Recording Operation are as follows: -
Acceleration
Aeq Amax Arms Pmax
Velocity
Veq Vmax Vrms Pmax
Displacement
Deq Dmax Drms Pmax
