Section 16 : Waterfall Spectra at RPM Intervals

Spectra can be acquired at fixed RPM intervals with RPM STEP ARM. This feature allows spectra to be taken at uniform RPM intervals even during erratic run-ups.

Setting Up the Tachometer

Connect the tachometer signal to the TACH BNC connector on the back of the AGILENT 35670A. Set up tachometer parameters as follows, assuming that the tachometer is a 1 V peak signal with 2 pulses per revolution:

Press the [Trigger] hardkey.

Press the [TACHOMTER SETUP] softkey (F8).

Press the [TACH PULS PER REV] softkey (F8).

Enter 2 then press the [ENTER] softkey (F1).

Toggle the [TACH DISP ON OFF] softkey (F6) until ON is highlighted.

Specifying the Start RPM

To set up RPM interval triggering, refer to the preceding section regarding Time Step Arm, then follow these instructions:

Press the [Trigger] hardkey.

Press the [ARM SETUP] softkey (F7).

Select the [RPM STEP ARM] softkey (F3).

Press the [START RPM] softkey (F6).

Press 1000 then the [RPM] softkey (F1).

This starts the measurement when 1000 RPM.

Press the [RPM STEP SIZE] softkey (F7).

Press 25 then the [RPM] softkey (F1).

This arms the measurement every 25 RPM.

Collecting a Specified Number of Spectra During an RPM Interval

Acquire a specified number of spectra into a waterfall during an RPM run-up using RPM step arm. Divide the total RPM interval by the number of spectra desired during the interval to determine the desired RPM STEP SIZE. For example to measure 15 spectra during an RPM run-up from 1000 RPM to 1750 RPM, select an RPM STEP SIZE of 50 as follows:

Press the [Trigger] hardkey.

Select the [ARM SETUP] softkey (F7).

Select the [RPM STEP ARM] softkey (F4).

Press the [START RPM] softkey (F6).

Press 1000 then the [RPM] softkey (F1).

Press the [RPM STEP SIZE] softkey (F7).
