The Opus Building Vib Module monitors the vibration time signal from a triaxial accelerometer .
When a specified vibration threshold is measured, an event record is  triggered. Then, the event
recordisanalysedtoidentifythepeakforeachaxisandassociatedparameters.
Eacheventrecordcontainsthesimultaneousacceleration,velocityanddispl
acementwaveformsfor
eachaxisandtheacousticwaveforms(TimeSignalandSoundPressureLevels(SPL)).
Step1 ConnectionsandSetup
Connectthemicrophone toinput1andthethreeaccelerometersX,YandZaxistoinputs2,3and4
respectively.
Forpurposesofexample,fastentheaccelerometertoatabl
etop.
Step2 RuntheMeasurement
Clickonthe
buttontostartthemeasurement.Atthispoint,youshouldseetherunning
waveformonthewaveformsgraphsattheleftoftheinterface.
Step3 GenerateEvents
Withtheaccelerometerfastenedtoatabletop,gentlyhitthetabletopwithyoufisttogeneratea
vibrationevent.
Ifthevibra
tionsignalscausedbythevibrationeventwereabovethetriggerlevel,aneventrecording
hasbeentriggered.The
indicatorislightonduringtheeventrecording.
Whenoneeventhasbeenrecorded,itisanalysedtoidentifythepeakinformation.Itisthenadded
anddisplayedontheeventtableandonthespectrum.
Ifanothervibrationeventoccurs,itwilltriggeranothereventrecording.
Step4 StoptheMea
surement
Once the measurement process is completed, click on the
 button to stop the
measurement.
