WITH HIGHER VIB VALUES AT IDLE THRUST AND CLIMB THRUST - THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTED THAT NO AIRFRAME VIBRATIONS FELT IN FLIGHT DECK.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AT PIT AND TAXIED TO THE GATE UNDER ITS OWN POWER - MAINTENANCE FOUND ACCELEROMETER CHANNEL A TO BE FAULTING AND SWITCHED IT TO CHANNEL B.   (OPEN)
