Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.
