Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)
The Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) is a hand-held electronic scan tool which will assist in locating the source of unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for testing purposes. The unit displays the 3 most common vibration frequencies and their corresponding amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative signal strength (amplitude) of each vibration being displayed and its relative G-force. The keypad is arranged to make the Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) simple to program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to average readings as well as record, play back and freeze readings. The Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) has a strobe balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating components such as a driveshaft or engine accessories.
| Item | Description |

Record the readings taken with the diagnostic tool.
- Frequencies should be read in the "average" mode.
- Frequencies have a range of plus or minus 2 Hertz (Hz). A reading of 10 Hertz (Hz) can be displayed as an 8 Hertz (Hz) through 12 Hertz (Hz).
