2.

Attach the transducer to the machine case or structure.

3.

Select Bump Test on the Main Menu and press Enter.

The Bump Test screen appears. 

Setup displays the Bump Test setup parameters and begins data 
collection.

Recall lets you recall previously saved Bump Test settings to perform 
another Bump Test using the same settings. 

Review Data lets you review saved Bump Test data.

4.

Select Setup and press Enter to set up the Bump Test parameters and begin 
to collect data.

Save – Saves the current bump 
test settings. Enter a filename 
to identify the bump test
