CF-5200 Frequently Asked Questions

Question number FAQ-0588

The meaning of the transfer functions a/F and F/a related to impulse force F and acceleration a.

Inatance: a/F

Apparent Mass: F/a

By inputting an impulse hammer signal into channel A (chA) and an acceleration signal into channel B (chB), it is possible to measure the frequency response function (transfer function) H = chB / chA.

Additionally, the computational function can convert a/F into I using 1/H.
