Calibration
Eachaccelerometeriscalibratedusingrandomexcitationand1600lineFFTtransformationtoprovidea
highresolution (amplitude and phase) frequency response. This yields a unique characterization and
securestheintegrityofyourvibrationmeasurements.
The sensitivity given on the calibration chart is measured at 159.2 Hz with 95% confidence level using
coveragefactork = 2.
