Measurement

 

Shows the selected mode.

 

 

 

 

  Starts and stops measurement. Starting is only possible when all settings in Measurement mode menu have been completed.

 

 

 

This field displays the vibration value (weighted RMS value) for the measurement axes.

 

  This status bar displays sensor and measuring channel.

 

 

 

This status bar indicates:

 

This status bar displays weighting filters, crest factor and MTVV.

Crest factor and MTVV are two additional characteristics which always have to measured when measuring human whole-body vibration conforming to the standard. For instance, they indicate whether the measurement contained shocks. If they exceed a certain value, this information has to occur in the measurement report. VM-BODY automatically monitors these characteristics in the background. In case of exceedance, the respective characteristic field is displayed yellow. VM-BODY is also able to take over limit exceedance to the measurement report automatically.

 

 

 This status bar displays k factor and VDV.

The Vibration Dose Value (VDV) is common especially in Great Britain and is classified as vibration characteristic for whole-body vibrations there. It is formed automatically in VM-BODY.

 

This can be, depending on the measuring mode, the vector sum or the maximum value of the 3 axis values.

 

Remaining and elapsed measurement duration are displayed. The elapsed measurement duration counts with minus sign from start delay to 00:00:00. Afterwards, the elapsed measurement duration counts up to the aimed measuring time. The measurement is stopped when it reaches the aimed measuring time.

 

This remarks inform about the current state.

 

At the signal input, you select the measuring channel and configure the measuring range. If you activated the sensor automatic, VM-BODY selects the measuring channel automatically.
