Section 20 : Peak Hold During a Machine Run-up and Coast-Down

Peak amplitudes experienced during run-ups and coast-downs can be measured directly with the AGILENT 35670A using peak hold. Although the resulting spectra will indicate the maximum amplitude measured in each frequency bin during the course of the run-up and run-down, it is not possible to determine from this information whether the peak was due to the fundamental frequency or a harmonic.

To measure peak amplitudes, peak hold averaging is selected with enough averages specified so that peaks can be accumulated during the entire run-up and run-down, after which the measurement is paused and the results examined.

To set up a single-channel peak hold average for a run-up duration of 1 minute, proceed as follows:

Select a frequency span and resolution, for example 800 Hz and 400 lines.

Determine the time record length for this combination, T=N/F=400/800=0.5 s

Determine how many averages are required to last for the measurement duration. Navg=Duration/T=60/.5=120 averages

Specify number of averages to be greater than this number.
