Note:

Vibration units and speed displayed match the system and frequency units selected in
the dataPAC Instrument Options screen. See “Setting Up Instrument Options” on
page 40.

7.

Select the correct vibration units by pressing <F5> (Vibration Units). Use the arrow
keys to highlight the desired units and then press <SELECT>. The units selected must
be compatible with the installed transducer.

8.

Start the machine and allow it to reach normal running speed.

9.

Press <STORE> to take an initial vibration measurement.

Note:

You can press <F3> (Backup) to revert to a previous screen, or, in some cases, press
<F3> (Go To) to back up several steps.

10. Aim the strobe at the reference mark on your rotor. Press the trigger on the strobe,

which causes it to begin to flash. The dataPAC displays the current vibration amplitude
dynamically. The rate is displayed in the boxed area at the top of the screen.
