FRF Frequency Response Function Extension Module Chapter 2

Num of Lines

Sets the number of lines of resolution for the FFT. The
Acquisition time information box changes accordingly.
When set to Automatic, the FRF module automatically
chooses the number of lines after three trial hits. This
uses a Uniform window if possible and automatically
increases the lines of resolution to accommodate the
decay time.
If this cannot be achieved, then Force/Exponential is
automatically selected. This function is optimized to
work for frequency ranges between 200 Hz and 4 kHz.
If you select Automatic at a frequency range outside this
band, the algorithm attempts to auto select, but may not
achieve good results.

400 (default)

Windowing

Sets the FFT window type to Uniform or Force/
Exponential.

Force-Exp (default)
Uniform

Num of Averages

Sets the number of FFT averages.

5 (default)

Accept/Reject

When performing a hammer test, the setting Accept/
Reject to Manual displays a dual time trace and
presents the choice to accept or reject control. Setting it
to Automatic, automatically rejects overloaded data and
double impacts.

Manual (default)
Automatic

Invert Phase

Applies a 180° phase offset to the measured data. It is
used when the accelerometer or hammer needs to be
inverted at a measurement position.

Off (default)
On

Save To

You can save to the Internal memory or to the Secure
Digital (SD) card.

Internal (default)
Card

Good Coherence

Enter the threshold at which the FRF plot changes from
red (bad coherence) to green (good coherence).

80% (default)
