Measurement and analysis ofsound level and vibration level

Sound/Vibration vs.
Rotation Speed Measurement System

RIONOTE can be used for measuring vibrations byconnecting a piezoelectric accelerometer. Because theunit supports up to four input channels, simultaneous
3-axis measurement (suchRIONOTE
as for two horizontal axes
and one vertical axis) or
measurement at multiple
locations can be easily
realized.
rea
alize
ed.

RIONOTE supports simultaneous measurement of soundlevel and vibration level, which is realized by connecting
both a sound level meter and a vibration level meter to theunit. If required, frequency analysis can also be performed.

Besides its sound and vibration connections, the RIONOTE
Multifunction Measurement System is also equipped with atacho pulse input which makes it possible to measure andanalyze noise and vibrations linked to rotation speed.
The illustration below shows a system with two microphones
mounted at the ear position of the driver of a vehicle, intended
to analyze sound patterns during acceleration. The tacho pulse
input can be used in conjunction with such a setup.
