Instantaneous Acceleration (cont.)
Once processed with the IA function the data looks like this:

The IA overall is 0.631, while overall vibration amplitude would be 3.02 g (peak). Which timewave would you consider more likely to display bearing defects, arcing or non-synchronous ticks? The difference is in the single upward integration, rather than the downward integration of acceleration -> velocity -> displacement.
