From Prosig USA, Inc.

In this article we will look at the basic steps behind a simple rotating machinery study. We won't look in great detail at some of the techniques involved - these are dealt with elsewhere on the Noise & Vibration Blog. This material should be suitable for a newcomer to the field who understands the basic concepts of noise & vibration analysis, but has not dealt with rotating machinery before.
