How To Calculate A Resultant Vector
Posted on January 12, 2012 | No CommentsWe can distinguish between quantities which have magnitude only and those which have magnitude and are also associated with a direction in space. The former are called scalars, for example,...
Video: How To Calibrate Microphones & Accelerometers
Posted on October 12, 2011 | No CommentsHere are two videos on a relatively simple, but sometimes misunderstood procedure – how to calibrate microphones & accelerometers
Vibration : Measure Acceleration, Velocity or Displacement?
Posted on September 5, 2011 | 3 CommentsWhen using vibration data, especially in conjunction with modelling systems, the measured data is often needed as an acceleration, as a velocity and as a displacement. Sometimes different analysis groups...
Which Should I Use? Real & imaginary? Or magnitude & phase?
Posted on May 4, 2011 | 7 CommentsIn one of our recent articles a question was asked regarding the practical use of real & imaginary type plots compared with modulus & phase type plots. In general, noise...
Measuring For Success
Posted on September 11, 2006 | No CommentsThe following application note shows the steps taken to perform a structural analysis on an automotive exhaust pipe structure with the aim of improving the structural damping properties of the...
Made To Measure
Posted on June 6, 2006 | 4 CommentsIn this note the different types of transducers that can be used with the Prosig P8000 series data acquisition system are discussed. The article deals with the design and function...
A Simple Noise Test
Posted on August 26, 2005 | 2 CommentsIn a recent article we described how the Prosig P8000 hardware and DATS software had been used to help Dalmeny Racing diagnose a problem with an exhaust bracket on their...Non-Linear Calibration Curve And Polynomial
Posted on June 6, 2001 | No CommentsNot all systems vary linearly. One very well known case is, of course, thermocouples. International standard curves are available for these so they present little difficulty. The issue discussed here...
