Abstract
An aircraft engine vibration analysis system is provided with at least one vibration sensor disposed proximate an aircraft engine. The analysis system is further provided with a vibration analysis module for receiving an input from the vibration sensor and generating an output representative of vibration characteristics of the aircraft engine. The analysis module is provided with a multiple pin input port which is connectable to the vibration sensor. The analysis module is further provided with test sequence select circuity which is in electrical communication with the input port for implementing an appropriate vibration analysis sequence in response to measured conductivity between pins of the multiple pin input port. The analysis system is further provided with a sensor connecting cable which is connectable to the vibration sensor and the analysis module input port. The connecting cable is provided with a multiple pin cable connector, the pins of which having conductivity characteristics corresponding to a vibration analysis sequence associated with a dedicated aircraft engine type.
