WHY FILTERS ARE USED

Advantages Of Using Filters

Allows one to focus on frequency of interest during data acquisition

Improves quality of measurement by removing interference from signal

Simplifies analysis by eliminating unwanted signals during signal

processing

When applied during data acquisition less data storage space is used
compared to when data is captured without applying filters

WHY FILTERS ARE NOT USED

Disadvantages Of Using Filters

When filters are applied during data acquisition frequencies that

indicates machinery malfunction might not be captured.

Such misdiagnosed fault frequency might results in machinery

damage
