The VA-12 is a powerful (yet easy to use), practical and self-standing machinery vibration analyser which stores data in standard formats (csv and standard wav files) enabling analysis without the user being tied to a specific condition monitoring package or particular analysis software. However, you don’t have to download the instrument before you can analyse the data. The full colour backlit screen is visible in all lighting conditions and the user can see the characteristics of the vibration data and measurement parameters properly whilst on site.

The meter performs four principal functions. As a vibration meter it will simultaneously display overall levels of vibration in terms of acceleration, velocity and displacement. As an FFT analyser it will show the (instantaneous, linear or exponentially averaged or maximum) spectrum in terms of acceleration, velocity or displacement. The waveform for each vibration parameter can be viewed when the meter is put in Time mode. Finally, the instrument can also store calibrated wav files to the SD card allowing full post processing on any measured signals using whatever post processing software you have available (as long as it can read a standard wav file).
