PCB Piezotronics to Host May 2007 Seminar

The participants will learn to:

• understand the physics and operating characteristics of dynamic pressure, and acceleration transducers and constraints associated with their use;

• Interface transducers effectively within intended test environments;

• Condition transducer signals to maintain their fidelity through selection of appropriate cabling, amplifiers, analog filters, sampling rates, DAQs, etc.;

• Document extraneous measurands (strain, temperature, ionization products of a detonation, magnetic fields, etc.) that superpose as noise on the desired transducer response;

• Apply corrective action for elimination of these noise levels;

• Validate that final, recorded signals contain only the desired (force, pressure, or acceleration) data;

• Perform "back of the envelope" checks to assure the bandwidth of the recording system did not impose constraints on recorded data;

• Perform sensor and system calibration, data analysis, and data utilization.

The cost is $595 USD per person and includes seminar materials, meals, and entertainment. Class size is limited to the first 40 paid registrants.
