4.1 RC (constant resolution) or FFT (fast Fourier transform) spectrum and zoom
It's a representation of vibration amplitude in acceleration on a linear frequency axis. With current technology, its resolution is generally 400 lines. The spectrum obtained will therefore be a curve passing through 400 points evenly spaced in frequency.
The frequency band is defined prior to on-site measurements. A distinction is made between :
LF spectra (low frequencies [0-50 Hz]) ;
MF spectra (medium frequencies [0-500 Hz]) ;
HF spectra (high frequencies [0-10,000 Hz]) ;
high-resolution zoom [f 1 ...

Quantification
Like any movement, vibrations recorded during routes can be quantified by three fundamental quantities:
travel ;
the speed of this displacement ;
the acceleration...
