Prerequisites
Complete the Job Setup, Acquire Data, and View Balance Correction steps.
Attach one or more vibration sensors and the tachometer to the analyzer.
If you use more than one sensor and do not use the CSI 2140 Four-Channel Input
Adapter, ensure you connected the proper cables before collecting data. Collect the
measurement for the appropriate input.
CAUTION!

equipment. Acquire data from the specified location for the highlighted measurement point. If
you assign data from other measurement points to this location, you invalidate all calculations.
