DJB Instruments has teamed up with Data Physics and Kemo to offer a training day on 25 April 2018 covering the whole vibration measurement process from accelerometer through DAQ and signal processing. The course is to be held at The Riverside House Hotel, Mildenhall, Suffolk. The presentations will be underpinned with practical demonstrations and the day will also be accompanied by a small exhibition, Q&A forum and a factory tour. This course is aimed at existing vibration and
ACCELEROMETERS & SIGNAL PROCESSING TRAINING Presentations start with “Accelerometers, the
truth and more”. This will focus on the importance of the sensor in the measurement process. It will look at the specifics of how accelerometers work, the different types, correct selection, cable types, mounting and minimising noise effects. “Are you letting noise in?” is aimed at questioning
NVH engineers, experienced engineers, new users, specifiers and product designers from automotive, aerospace, electronics, industrial and sports science fields. The training is presented by three engineers with over 100 years of combined experience in vibration testing and signal processing. Their experience of typical pitfalls to be avoided and best practice will be brought to the fore to encourage delegates to questions their current processes for the better. The cost, including refreshments throughout the
day, lunch, and full course notes, is £100+VAT per delegate. For delegates travelling from further afield, a discount B&B rate has been arranged with the hotel.
the optimisation of a measurement path, from transducer to data acquisition. Topics covered will be dynamic range, gain, hidden overloads and distortion. Common problems and examples of less than perfect practice will also be explored. “Data Acquisition techniques for modal analysis
– An introduction” will detail some of the processes and procedures behind data acquisition and signal processing considering sensors, coupling and frequency range, including practical demonstrations to highlight various techniques as well as common pitfalls to avoid. For further details about any of these courses or
