Configuration of the instrument from the keyboard

To facilitate the user in the execution of some measurements, we prepared some basic instrument configurations called "Setups".

The setups are supplied with the NoiseStudio software, and are preloaded on the instrument when it comes out of the factory.
In the instrument we only loaded the setups that can be used with the accelerometers in the kit. Using NoiseStudio, you can load other setups and change the existing ones to adapt them to your requirements.

The available setups are the following:

• "HA 3 AXES": for the hand-arm measurements using the HD3023A2 triaxial accelerometer on the right channel. The left channel accelerometer is not present.

• "HA 3 SHOCK": for the hand-arm measurements with high vibration levels. You can use the HD3200B5T monoaxial accelerometer on the left channel. The right channel accelerometer is not present.

• "WB SEAT 3 AXES": for whole body measurements using the HD5313M2 triaxial accelerometer inserted in the rubber disc. You can use it for the measurement of the vibrations transmitted, e. g. from a vehicle driver's seat. The accelerometer is connected to the right channel. The left channel accelerometer is not present.

• "WB SEAT 4 AXES": for whole body measurements using the HD5313M2 triaxial accelerometer inserted in the rubber disc, and a second HD3056B2 monoaxial accelerometer. You can use this setup for the measurement of the vibrations transmitted, e. g. from a vehicle driver's seat. The monoaxial accelerometer is fixed to the seat structure and is used to distinguish the vibrations due to the driver movement and those generated by the vehicle. The triaxial accelerometer is connected to the right channel, the monoaxial one to the left channel.

• "WB BACK 3 AXES": for whole body measurements using the HD5313M2 triaxial accelerometer inserted in the rubber disc. You can use it for the measurement of the vibrations transmitted, e. g. from the back of a vehicle driver's seat. The accelerometer is connected to the right channel. The left channel accelerometer is not present.

• "BV BUILDINGS 3 AXES": it is used to measure the vibrations of the buildings. The measurement is performed using the HD3233A triaxial accelerometer on the right channel. The left channel accelerometer is not present.

To use one of the setups in the memory, proceed as follows:

• Open the "Setup Management" program: MENU >> All Programs >> Setup Management.

• Scroll the setups in the memory using the UP and DOWN arrows. To access the displayed setup, press ENTER.

• In the following page, press LOAD to apply the new setup to the instrument (press "RET." to return to the setup list without applying it).

• The setup's expected accelerometer for the right channel is shown.
  You will see: the input to be used, the model and other information on the sensor to be connected to the instrument.
  If no accelerometer is expected for the right channel, you will see "CONFIGURATION #00" and the item "TYPE"=OFF.
  Press "SEL." to select it.

• The setup's expected accelerometer for the left channel is shown.
  This is the same of the right channel.
  Press "SEL." to select it.

 

Before starting a recording, you have to apply the accelerometers described in the just loaded setup.
