Walk-through: Taking Measurements in
Measure Mode
Onsite analysis using Measure Mode involves watching a machine's
vibration on-screen as it occurs and analyzing the measurement on
the instrument (rather than recording the vibration then transferring it
to Ascent for later analysis using the software). This method of
measuring allows you to take a quick look at a machine's vibration
patterns without having to save the recording or create a machine
and points etc. You can still store the recording once the
measurement is complete if you choose to do so.
Warning: Take care of personal safety when taking measurements
in industrial environments. Follow all safety regulations at all times.

• Start the machine and allow it to operate under its normal
load and running speed.
