What is a Bump Test?
A bump test (also called a hammer test) determines the
natural frequencies of a machine or a structure. The
idea behind the test is that if an object is impacted or
“bumped,” the object’s natural or resonant frequencies are
excited. If a spectrum is taken while the object is vibrating
due to the impact, spectral peaks result pinpointing the
object’s natural frequencies. A Microlog analyzer can be
used to capture this vibration response and to display a
spectrum showing the resonant or natural frequencies.

Set Trigger Delay: -50 milliseconds which sets
the pre-trigger sample data to zero prior to the
bump.
