1. An instrument for measuring vibrations and diagnosing a rotating machinery fault, comprising:

  • a user interface configured to graphically show at least one of;

    (1) a sensor placement and orientation relative to a machine, wherein the sensor placement and orientation are provided by a user;

    (2) one or more locations on the machine identified by the user where measurements with the sensor have been taken, and (3) one or more locations on the machine identified by the user where measurements with the sensor still need to be taken; and

    an engine coupled to the user interface and configured to;

    receive data from a vibration sensor; and

    diagnose the machinery fault based on parameters about the machine provided by the user and the received data, rather than based on previously taken vibration data.
