## What is Hamm Seismograph?

Hamm Seismograph can display structure-borne swings, similar to a seismometer for earthquakes.
In the surrounding of jobsites structure-borne swings, which are caused by construction machinery, occur many times.
Especially during the compaction of soil or asphalt, dangerous swings can occur that can lead to damages on the surrounding buildings.
Hamm Seismograph visualizes the much more lower swing-load of a compaction with Oscillation in comparison to vibration.

Functions:
- Real-time display of the swings
- Selection of presentation mode (X-,Y- and Z-direction at the same time, or only one of these)
- Selection of line width for the diagram
- Freeze of the diagram (start-stop)
- Airplay
- Good clearness of display under sunlight conditions
- No numerical output of the data

The data collected by the HAMM Seismograph application is processed only locally on your device. HAMM does not have access to this data.

## Key features

- Real-time swing display
- Adjustable presentation modes
- Line width selection
- Diagram freeze function
- Sunlight-readable display
- Local data processing

### 5/5 — Is gud.

*2022-10-03, version 2.2*

Is gud fun.

### 3/5 — Advanced features

*2022-10-02, version 2.2*

Hello, I am wondering if you could develop a couple of features that could be added to this app since it seems very useful. One is the ability to control the scrolling speed. The second would be very important for someone testing rpm of a engine such as a chainsaw. That feature would be the ability to convert the one of the axes of movement into RPMs which is revolutions per minute to test the speed of a chainsaw engine. Thank you.

### 5/5 — See minor vibrations getting to Tube HiFi Amp

*2022-04-26*

Simple & easy to use. Great App thank you!

### 2/5 — Where is the graph?

*2021-10-26, version 2.2*

If this app saves the data it detected, will someone tell me where it is?

### 5/5 — Quality app

*2020-11-11, version 2.1*

3 axes, each axis displayed separately, sensitivity control, simple user interface, and no ads so far.....

### 4/5 — Cool, could have more

*2020-03-29, version 2.1*

There are many features that I would make this 5 stars. 

The ability to control the speed at which the seismograph moves, therefore the frequency of the recordings.You should be able to save data after running a recording. I think magnitude equivalents should be added, and triggers for when the shaking surpasses a set magnitude. Other than that, this app is perfect.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2019-02-06, version 2.1*

This was the perfect app for my use.  All I wanted was something to show relative vibrations while I was testing a piece of equipment.  Didn’t need data storage or some sort of precise numbers.  This fills the bill perfectly and no ads, no bothering me about buying another app or purchasing additional functions.  If you’re looking for just what it does it is well worth your time to check it out.

### 5/5 — Best seismometer app!

*2015-03-28, version 1.1*

Free, no ads, sensitivity, colours, it's amazing!
