Sum Harmonics Measurement Parameter
There are two instances of the sum harmonics parameter, one for each
channel. .
Overall Damping Factor
This parameter is used in conjunction with the
Overall Time Constant to vary the characteristics
of the response of the digital filter used in
calculating the Overall Value.
An Overall Value for a measurement with a damping
factor near 1.0 (critical damping) will slowly rise or
fall for the full settling time specified by the Overall
Time Constant before reaching the final value. An
Overall Value for a measurement with a damping
factor near 0.707 will rise or fall quickly and may
"overshoot" (measure a value greater or less than the
final value) before reaching the final value for a
given input signal.
Enter a value from 0.707 to 1.0.
Overall Filter
The filter to be applied to the overall measurement
to produce the Overall Value. See Data Parameters
on page 89.
Options: None
Low Pass Filter
Low Pass Filter
Sets the frequency above which the input signal will
be significantly attenuated.
Enter a value from 200 to 20,000 Hz.
Note: This value is used only when
the Overall Filter is set to "Low Pass
Filter." However, the value is ignored
when double integration is performed
on the signal (Eng. Units is set to "g"
and Output Data Units is set to
either "mils" or "µm").

IMPORTANT
The sum harmonics measurement requires the tachometer
to be enabled (Pulses Per Revolution is set to 1 or more),
and a tachometer signal must be present.
Sum Harmonics Measurement Parameters
Parameter Name
Description
Values/Comments
Sets the starting order for the Sum Harmonics
measurement. The amplitudes of all harmonics from
the specified harmonic through FMAX are included in
the sum.
Select a value from 1 to 5.
Note: This value should be less than
or equal to the FMAX in orders. The
sum harmonics start order is
automatically rounded down if this
value is above the FMAX.
