What is logarithmic scale in SAP PM-PDM-VA - Vibration Analysis?

SAP Term: logarithmic scale

• Component: PM-PDM-VA

• Component Name: Vibration Analysis

• Description: A scale of measurement that displays the value of a physical quantity using intervals corresponding to orders of magnitude, rather than a standard linear scale. The function of the curve can include an exponent, which gives it the curved nature.

• Key Concepts: 
  A logarithmic scale is a type of scale used in vibration analysis to measure the intensity of vibration. It is based on the logarithm of the amplitude of the vibration, which is a measure of the energy of the vibration. The logarithmic scale is used to compare different levels of vibration and to identify changes in vibration over time.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PM-PDM-VA Vibration Analysis, the logarithmic scale is used to measure the intensity of vibration. The logarithmic scale is based on the logarithm of the amplitude of the vibration, which is a measure of the energy of the vibration. The logarithmic scale can be used to compare different levels of vibration and to identify changes in vibration over time.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the logarithmic scale in SAP PM-PDM-VA Vibration Analysis, it is important to remember that it is based on the logarithm of the amplitude of the vibration, which is a measure of the energy of the vibration. This means that small changes in amplitude can result in large changes in intensity when measured on a logarithmic scale.
