Transfer function
The transfer function represents the relation between an input signal and output
signal in the frequency domain, allowing the determination of amplitude and phase.
In this mathematical calculation category, the RIONOTE supports coherence function
and cross spectrum processing.

s easy and intuitive to operate, with the dedicated Real time analysis of noise or vibration levels for evaluation and
designing countermeasures is usually performed by means of octave
or touch screen. RION will continuously develop band analysis (using either octave bands or 1/3 octave bands). The
asuring system of the future. below screen sample of the RIONOTE displays octave analysis results
in 4 channels as a graph and numeric values at the same time.

RIONOTE intuitive user interface

Lets the user select the required program for the respective purpose:
SX-A1FT (FFT analysis), SX-A1RT (octave band analysis), or
SX-A1WR (waveform recording). The right side of the screen provides
access to various settings.

RIONOTE also enables the use of a wireless dock or wireless sensor

amplifiers to avoid the cost and hassle of cables. A plurality of wireless
docks and wireless sensor amplifiers can be used simultaneously, up to
16 channels, to store the measured data in the Main Control Unit as well
as in the memory of wireless dock or wireless sensor amplifiers.
