Wow, that was a little like drinking from a fire hose! :)
Who woke you guys up? :)
The more I learn, the less I know. I have no expertise in this subject matter so I rely on others'.
I purchased the embedded DFT, and my objective was to get some corroboration on the result report, and to...

Need velocity in IPS please.

Huh?

Close, 1.93rads = 110.5 degrees. I show 113 degrees.

Sorry. I had hastily edited and shortened this capture file. Now each channel has 2000 correlating samples.
The enigmatic filename, CH13.csv was simply generated by my Tektronix scope (meaning channels 1 & 3).
My embedded algorithm counts complete revolutions in the keyphasor channel and...
Oops. Misunderstood how the upload works. My mistake.
Should be there now.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0980ebfa-b9c4-44df-9de6-afa15ec6000b&file=ch13.csv

Hi Greg
I'd like to hear anything you can recall about this.
The data format is an Excel file, one column for the key phasor strobe and one column for the raw accel data.
The 30 degree discrepancy appears to be quite repeatable. I suspect it has to do with the integrated Bessel filter in the MEMS accelerometer used to capture one data set, vs. the ICP...
Hi Walter
We have talked in the past.
Yes this is correct. I have a commercial balancer (which may or not need calibration) with which to compare the results from my embedded algorithm, and the reports are very close, within 30 degrees and 0.02ips, repeatable with real-time acquisition from my...
Rotating machinery, as in airplane propellers and helicopter rotors, determining magnitude of imbalance (velocity) and location of heavy spot (phase).
I have in-flight time-series accelerometer and key-phasor data collected from aircraft.
My embedded DFT is giving me a report as to above...
Forgive my multiple posts but I have been directed to a couple different forums to better answer my question.
I have an embedded DFT that identifies the velocity magnitude and phase of the heavy spot on rotors, from time-series accelerometer and key-phasor data.
I wish to validate and...
I have nearly completed a hand-held device for capturing accelerometer time-series and key phasor data, for generating velocity magnitude and phase report of the "heavy spot" on rotating machinery.
I now need to validate and eventually certify the result from my embedded DFT.
Can someone refer...
Update:
As Retred points out, the low impedance apparently effectively nullifies the noise.
I had acceptable results with two different circuit types: 1. a discrete differential op-amp circuit and
2. an integrated cold-junction compensated chip (MAX6675)
Aside from a gain error induced by...
