The autocorrelation function data are computed from the same time wave form data used to compute the spectrum. The strengths of the autocorrelation data are complementary to the strengths of the spectral data.

The course uses case studies from real-life examples of common faults, and live demonstrations illustrating specific mounting procedures to reliably detect certain faults. Differences between PeakVue techniques and demodulation will also be demonstrated.
