If you only need to integrate the spectrum, you can generate a scaling array to multiply the output of the FFT. Assuming your FFT output is magnitude (as opposed to power) and linearly scaled (as opposed to dB), the scaling array looks like the following for single integration: [0, 1/w_1, 1/w_2, .

Integration typically acts as a lowpass filter. For mechanical vibrations, you should make sure that your acquired signal is AC coupled or that you remove any DC component from the signal to integrate as this DC component will dominate the response and you will see a net displacement after integrat

first convert your raw acceleration units to ft/sec/sec (or whatever unit you want velocity and displacement) Then use the integrate function (twice for displacement). You may use FFT for frequency content but it does not help for velocity or displacement. If you have already tried this, you may

using lv 6.1 without sound and vibration tool kit. how do you integrat a vibratory spectrum from acceleration to velocity and displacement. I'm using the real fft lv function and displaying with a waveform chart.
