Abstract: A Runout, Velocity, Acceleration includes direct measurement of velocity by use of a Doppler laser, and determines runout by integration of the velocity information while determining acceleration by differentiating the velocity information, with appropriate correction for sources of error. A menu driven system permits the user to select from a variety of options for testing of rotating objects and manipulation, storage and display of the data. A novel windowing technique permits the display of multiple child windows, each having its own set of pull down menus for use in connection with that child window.
