Abstract: A method for producing a thinned representation of vibration waveform data. The waveform vibration data is received and divided into sequential blocks. For each sequential block, each serially designated in turn as a current block, the following steps are performed. When the current block is also a first block, the current block is passed as a reference block. A representative value for the current block is computed and compared to the representative value for the reference block to determine a difference. The representative value for the current block is compared to a minimum representative value. The current block is transformed into a spectrum and compared to the spectrum for the reference block to determine a correlation value.
