Something like the Detector II from FAG might be what you are looking for.

We had many years experience with a Premium Brand unit until our company was spun off and our access to the network, software and data were abruptly cut off. We recently had a demonstration from Comtest who offered lease as well as upgrade to online monitoring units. The initial start-up looks very straight forward at a fraction of the cost of the Premium Brand as well as the annual maintenance agreement. Our only delema was the loss of the trend data...

If you are in the States tap the local chapter of the Vibration Institute for a plethra of information.
Good Luck.

Hi,
Vendor warning: but have a very good meter that is extremely portable and performs diagnostics based on ISO 10816 at pdmengineering dot com on the web at 3800USD. Has software, data cable, transducer, photo tach and provides instant results.
