Connect a Transducer to the Data Collector
Follow these steps to connect a transducer to the data collector.
1. Match the red dot on the connector to the red dot on the data collector.
2. Insert the transducer cable into either Connector CH1 or CH2 on the
data collector.
Do not turn or twist the connector.
• If you are using an external tachometer signal for phase measurements,
connect your tachometer signal to the POWER/USB/TRIGGER
connector on the data collector.
• You must also set the Trigger parameter in the Setup Utility screen to
External, otherwise the instrument uses the internal Laser Tachometer
to collect the measurement.
See Configure the Data Collection Options on page 42 for more information on
setting the Trigger parameter.
Select the Data Collection Options
There are many options that options affect the measurement, the data collection
process, and the data display. The Enpac 2500 data collector stores these options
even when its powered off. However, you should check these options each time
you start data collection. The options are located in the Instrument
Configuration screen.
See Configure the Data Collection Options on page 42 for instructions on how
to select the data collection options.
WARNING: To prevent damage to the cable and cable pins, take care when
connecting the transducer to the data collector.
