Newbie’s question: After using a vibration analyzer to make measurements on the equipment, is it necessary to perform manual calculations again to obtain the final value?

I’m a beginner and not very skilled at using a vibration tester for testing. I hope the experts here can offer some help. Thank you all.
I think it depends on where the test results will be used, as well as whether your instrument falls under the category of devices that require strict inspection. If it is used within the valid period after testing, there should be no problems. It’s like that story about having one watch to tell time and several watches to tell time as well
If you are referring to a handheld vibration meter, no manual calculations are required. Such meters typically provide three values: amplitude, vibration velocity, and vibration acceleration. You select the value that corresponds to the characteristics of the equipment being tested, and then analyze it using the relevant standards.
It is recommended to read the instruction manual for the vibration meter carefully. No calculation is needed; simply choose to measure displacement, velocity, or acceleration based on your needs.
