4 — Perform Actual Modal Impact Test
Once you have performed one or more trial impacts and are satisfied
that you are set up to obtain good quality data, you can enter
Run
mode
and perform an actual impact test. This involves executing a number of
impacts for each point according to your labeled machine test plan, and
then saving each group of recordings against the relevant point. As you
perform impacts, your instrument keeps track of the recordings for each
point, and can automatically increment the name or number of each
point as you save each recording and move to the next point. When you
save your impacts you will need to specify the points and directions you
used for these so keep your test plan close at hand.
