The phase angle is defined as the number of
degrees from the Keyphasor pulse to the first
positive peak of vibration.

VIBRATION FORM
TIMEBASE- an oscilloscope displays the vibration in units of the
transducer (amplitude) versus time horizontally across the display.

VIBRATION FORM
ORBIT- is the output of two transducers at 90 angles to one another (XY
plane) in the X-Y mode of the oscilloscope. The orbit is the
representation of the shaft centerline movement.
