Section 29 : Transducer Unit Conversion with the AGILENT 35670A

Automatic conversion between acceleration, velocity, or displacement units is available with the Trace Coord capability in the AGILENT 35670A. Transducer sensitivity and transducer unit label is first specified for the input channel, then the desired unit is specified using XDCR UNIT CONVERSION.

Measuring Acceleration, Displaying Displacement

To set up and display a measurement of acceleration, proceed as follows:

Press the green [Preset] hardkey

Press [DO PRESET] softkey (F1).

Press the [Input] hardkey

Press the [FRONT END CH1 SETUP] softkey (F7).

Press [ICP SUPLY ON OFF] softkey (F8) until ON is highlighted.

Press the [Input] hardkey

Press [XDCR UNIT CH1 SETUP] softkey (F8)

Press the [XDCR SENSITVTY] softkey (F6).

Enter 10.8, then press the [mV/EU] softkey (F2).

Toggle the [XDCR UNIT ON OFF] softkey (F4) until ON is highlighted.

Press the [XDCR UNIT LABEL] softkey (F7).

Select the [g] softkey (F2).

Specify an averaged measurement

Press the [Freq] hardkey

Enter 800 and then press the [Hz] softkey (F2)

Press the [Avg] hardkey.

Turn on averaging by pressing the [AVERAGE ON OFF] softkey (F1) until ON is highlighted.

Press the yellow [Start] hardkey.

After the measurement is complete, set up the display to show acceleration and peak- to-peak displacement simultaneously. RMS acceleration is already displayed on Trace A. Set up Trace B to show peak-to-peak displacement as follows:

Press the [Active Trace] hardkey again.

Press the [B] softkey (F2).

Press the [Meas Data] hardkey.

Press the

[CHANNEL 1 2 3 4] softkey (F1) until 1 is highlighted.

Press the

[PWR SPEC CHANNEL 1] softkey (F3)

Press the [Trace Coord] hardkey.

Press the [Y UNITS] softkey (F8)

Toggle the [AMPLITUDE PK PP RMS] softkey (F4) until PP is highlighted.
