Whole body vibration levels may be measured using SINUS multichannel data acquisition systems, a seatpad tri-axial accelerometer and software as follows:
SINUS Hardware options include NoisePAD, Soundbook 4ch or Laptop or Apollo Box or Laptop or Apollo Lite
Software required is SAMURAI 4ch and SAMURAI Option: HVMA
Optional software is NoiseCam – record synchornised video footage using webcam
Requires sensor: Seatpad tri-axial accelerometer
Optional sensor – single axis accelerometer in fourth channel to simultaneously monitor floor vibration level and the difference between the seat and the floor vibration levels.
Whole body seat vibration levels may be measured with all of the SINUS data acquisition systems and the tri-axial seat-pad accelerometer with the WBV dose value shown directly on the screen in real-time and saved in a measurement file which may be reviewed and replayed later for either further analysis or for incorporation into reports.
The WBV vibration levels may also be displayed as one-third octave spectra with levels overplotted on standard exposure limit curves, as well as a a display showing the floor and seat vibration levels.
All vibration data may be exported to Excel, Noise Works for Windows or other software for presentation in reports.
