Press buttons to switch between measurement modes.
The current mode will be highlighted.
Units for each measurement mode can be set (see 16. Setting units)
MODE UNITS
Acceleration mode g m/s²
Velocity mode mm/s in/s
Displacement mode µm mils
Memory recall mode (see 13. Memory recall mode)
Settings (see 14. Settings menu)
When the unit is in one of the measurement modes (acceleration, velocity, displacement), press buttons to
switch between RMS, peak-peak and 0-peak displays. An additional bearing display is available in both acceleration and
velocity measurement modes. The bearing mode passes the vibration signal through a 1kHz-10kHz band-pass filter to
attenuate non-bearing vibration found at lower frequencies, and is used for more precise monitoring of bearings.
Press to store the displayed value in the current memory slot. The current memory number will automatically move
to the next slot.

The Crest Factor is equal to the peak amplitude of a waveform divided by the RMS value. The purpose of the
crest factor calculation is to give an analyst a quick idea of how much impacting is occurring in a waveform.
Impacting is often associated with roller bearing wear, cavitation and gear tooth wear.
