Is it possible to use sensors with varying sensitivities to gather vibration data for ODS measurements? For example, using a fixed sensor with 100Mv/mil sensitivity and a roving sensor with 10Mv/mil sensitivity. I am currently using the CSI2130 2Channel with ODS/Modal software. Which unit is the most suitable for ODS measurements: acceleration, displacement, or velocity?
Hello Kiai, it is possible to adjust the sensitivity of different sensors to suit your needs. When setting up your sensors, you can customize the parameters for each sensor based on your requirements. The choice of units depends on the specific frequency you are monitoring. Typically, displacement is preferred for addressing low-frequency issues.
Yes, it's possible to use sensors with varying sensitivities for ODS measurements, but bear in mind that this might add complexity in terms of data management. You'll need to ensure that the software you're using can properly account for the differences in sensitivity. As for unit suitability, it somewhat depends on the frequency range of the vibrations you are examining. Typically, displacement is used for low frequency vibrations (below 10 Hz), velocity for mid-frequency (10 - 1000 Hz), and acceleration for higher-frequency vibrations (above 1000 Hz). However, your CSI2130 2Channel with ODS/Modal software can probably convert between these units, so choose whichever most appropriately represents the system dynamics you're trying to model.

Answer: - Yes, it is possible to use sensors with varying sensitivities for ODS measurements. For example, you can use a fixed sensor with 100mV/mil sensitivity along with a roving sensor with 10mV/mil sensitivity.
Answer: - The CSI2130 2Channel with ODS/Modal software is a suitable unit for conducting ODS measurements.
Answer: - The choice of using acceleration, displacement, or velocity for ODS measurements depends on the specific requirements of your analysis. Each of these parameters provides different insights into the vibration behavior, and the most suitable one should be selected based on the goals of the ODS measurements.
