Adding a transducer is described below
Name

First, tap on Name and key inn a name for the transducer that you will remember. It can be a good idea to add something like "2F" at the end of the name to indicate a 1/2 inch free field microphone type, or "4P" for a quarter inch pressure type.

Type

Select the type of tranducer.

More about transducer types

Predefined sensor

Most of the input devices from Norsonic are predefined in the system. When Predefined sensor is on, a dropdown list is available under Types. When any of these are selected, the Preamplifier choice becomes available. Correct electrical conditions (preamplifier voltage and polarization voltage) are automatically selected.

The remaining information to fill in is then serial number(s) and verification data.

Non-predefined sensor

In case the sensor is not on the predefined list, more parameters are displayed. The measurand must be chosen (please see Transducer types), Polarization voltage must be set on or off and IEPE must be checked if the preamplifier is IEPE.

Verification data

These parameters are given by the calibration laboratory. The name of the laboratory is filled in under Laboratory, the date is entered and Verified Sensitivity must be set to the correct value given in the calibration chart for the transducer. Interval contains the period in months in which the transducer should be recalibrated.

Underscale spectrum

The Underscale Spectrum can be defined for the sensor. A less-than sign will appear in the SLM view when the level is below this range.

Calibration

Please remember to check the sensitivity of the system with a sound calibrator before starting to measure.
