The ioX Wireless Advanced Vibration Meter uses an accelerometer to measure vibration and frequency on 3 axes. The sensor reports vibration (acceleration, velocity, displacement, or acceleration peak), frequency (Hz/RPM), and crest factor on all three axes, and duty cycle (how much of the report interval was vibration present), and temperature. This sensor can be used to manage vibration in assembly lines and monitor seismic activity in bridges.

Principle of Operation
The ioX Advanced Vibration Meter measures vibration (acceleration, velocity, displacement, or acceleration peak), frequency (Hz/RPM), and crest factor on all three axes, duty cycle (how much of the report interval vibration was present), and temperature of the system to which it is attached. The sensor uses an accelerometer to capture g-force on all axes and then calculates vibration, frequency, and crest factor from that acceleration data. The Vibration Meter reports the duty cycle as a percentage of how long the vibration was present during the heartbeat. A single measurement consists of gathering 256 acceleration data points, analyzing those data points to produce vibration data, then taking a temperature measurement. The sensor will take a measurement based on a configurable Measurement Interval. Only the most recent set of data points is reported on each heartbeat.
