Vibration Measurement Instruments
Getting started with Measurements
The general procedure for measurements using VIBER X4™ can be divided into 4 steps:
1. Parameter check: When pressing OK, the instrument will check if the transducers meet the required
conditions and start the data acquisition for the measurement. In the meantime, the instrument will display a
diagram related to the stability of the input signal and, for some measurements, auto ranging will ask you to
confirm the stability of the signal.
2. Data collection: The instrument acquires the necessary data. Depending on the settings, this can take up
to 30 seconds. It will also start to process and display the data. The measurement can be stopped either auto-
matically or manually using the Aux key, depending on reference, setting and/or measurement.
3. Settings: Press the F3 key during measurement to enter the settings menu where you can set the parame-
ters for the measurement. By pressing F3 the parameters will be set to default, which covers the majority of
situations. The instrument always saves the last used settings for each type of measurement.
4. Save:
When the measurement is stopped by pressing the Aux key, the collected data can be saved in files
by selecting Save from the Menu key. You can review the files using the File Manager. For some measure -
ments, such as Waveform, if the measurement has not been saved, a question will appear about saving before
exiting the measurement.
