On reciprocating machinery (diesel engine, pump) or any acyclic rotating devices (generator,compressor), the cause of vibrations often comes from the non-linearity of the angular speed. The analysis of the instantaneous angular speed inside each shaft revolution provides essentialinformation. Such information are helpful for vibrations reduction during prototyping or evenfor source identification while doing service diagnostics.<br> | On reciprocating machinery (diesel engine, pump) or any acyclic rotating devices (generator,compressor), the cause of vibrations often comes from the non-linearity of the angular speed.

Such devices are expensive, lead to more cable, are oftenlimited to 2 probes and so on. But the main inconvenience is the phase error they introducedue to their internal response time.<br> | Such devices are expensive, lead to more cable, are oftenlimited to 2 probes and so on.

· The torsional behavior of a shaft ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsional_vibration#Crankshaft_torsional_vibration crankshaft], alternator) or a driving belt (service belt) being excited by its acyclic motion. In such a case the phenomena are analyzed order by order using the cross-phase tracking capabilities of the SOA Plug-in. In this case 2 or more torsional inputs are used: in different location of the shaft or on each pulley driven by the belt.<br> | · The torsional behavior of a shaft ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsional_vibration#Crankshaft_torsional_vibration crankshaft], alternator) or a driving belt (service belt) being excited by its acyclic motion.
