AGILENT 35670A

Supplemental Operator’s Guide

For example, if an accelerometer has am internal sensitivity of 25 pC/g, and a charge amplifier has a gain setting of 10 mV/pC, then the resulting transducer sensitivity is 250 mV/g. However is the gain setting on the charge amplifier is changed to 1 mV/pC, then the resulting sensitivity would then be 25 mV/g.

Specifying Transducer Sensitivity and Units

The AGILENT 35670A provides the ability to convert electrical signals into Engineering Units. Units can be specified as either conventional units or User units. Conventional units of motion available are:

acceleration:

g, m/s^2, inch/s^2

velocity:

m/s, inch/s

displacement:

m, inch, mil

force:

N, lb., dyne

To set up transducer properties for an accelerometer attached to Channel 2 with a sensitivity of 9.7 pC/g, follow these steps:

Press [Input] hardkey.

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

Press [XDCR UNIT CH2 SETUP] softkey (F8)

Press the [XDCR SENSITVTY] softkey (F6).

Enter 9.7, 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).

Likewise if a force transducer is attached to Channel 1 with a sensitivity of 12.2 mV/lb., do the following:

Press [Input] hardkey.

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

Press [XDCR UNIT CH1 SETUP] softkey (F8)

Press the [XDCR SENSITVTY] softkey (F6).

Enter 12.2, 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).

Press the [MORE CHOICES] softkey (F9).

Select the [ lb ] softkey (F6).
