This standard presents guidelines for the instruments, procedures and parameters, used to analyse dynamic data. It is assumed that the person performing the analyses has the use of appropriate digital FFT signal processors or FFT computers.
These guidelines are also applicable for other types of signal processing procedures, as long as the analysing parameters are equivalent. Such other procedures contain correlation algorithms e.g. Blackman-Tuckey), digital band pass filter algorithms or heterodyne techniques.
An outline of the data analysis procedures covered in this section is presented in Figure 1.
