1. A vibration monitoring system for an industrial machine, the industrial machine including a plurality of movable components and one or more motor operatively coupled to the plurality of movable components, the system comprising:
a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors positioned at one of a plurality of measurement points on at least one of the movable component of the industrial machine; and
an electronic processor coupled to the plurality of sensors and configured to
receive a signal including a parameter related to a motion of the at least one moveable component,
identify a steady state of the industrial machine based, at least in part, on the parameter meeting a predetermined criteria,
receive, from the plurality of sensors, a plurality of vibration data sets, and
select a vibration data subset from the plurality of vibration data sets corresponding to the steady state of the industrial machine.
