Setting Up and Collecting Off Route Spectrum Measurements
dataPAC User’s Guide

5.
Use the up and down arrow keys to select Spectra / Waveform Measurement
Parameters, then press <SELECT>. The dataPAC displays the setup parameters
window for the selected measurement type.
Note:
If Time Waveform appears, press <F5> (Spectra Param.) to get to the Spectrum screen.
When you change from time waveform to spectra, the time waveform parameters are
automatically converted to the corresponding spectral parameters and vice versa.
6.
Press <F1> (Edit Point) to change the measurement setup. You can press
<SHIFT><F1> (Point Context) to copy the current point setup to your off route
measurement. Alternatively, you can press <SHIFT><F2> (Instrument Defaults) to
select the instrument defaults for your off route measurement. Use the field descriptions
below to set up the measurement.
Xdcr Native Units
The Transducer Native Units parameter allows you to specify the type of transducer
connected to your dataPAC. The choice of this parameter controls the list of possible
selections available for the Measurement Variable parameter.
The dataPAC 1500 V5 allows you to choose Other, so you can choose Volts as the Unit
Text. This allows you to connect to voltage sources and measure voltage.
Meas. Variable
The Measurement Variable parameter allows you to choose how to measure the signal
coming from the transducer. For example, if you have an accelerometer, you can measure
acceleration, velocity, or displacement.
Unit Text
The Unit Text parameter allows you to select the display units for this measurement. Select
from RMS, Pk, or Pk-Pk.
The list of selections is dependent upon current selections in the previous two parameters:
Transducer Native Units and Measurement Variable.
Window
The Window parameter specifies the windowing function applied to the time waveform that
is used to compute the spectra. Your choices are: Hanning, Hamming, Kaiser-Bessel, Flat
Top, and Rectangular.
