    Optimal sampling and algorihtm

    I agree, it is a good idea of archiving data so you can optimize data analysis at post-processing time. Peter

    Optimal sampling and algorihtm

    Dear Greg, >>Do you mean 0.1 Hz line width, or 0.1 Hz resolution? This is how I understand IN GENERAL: resolution is totally instrument related - perhaps when data are obtained the resolution is at best is 1/Fs where Fs is the sampling frequency. Next, one uses these data and created a...

    Optimal sampling and algorihtm

    The application: We have here a number of synchrotron radiation equipments (long beam-pipes, vacuum boxes with water cooling, optical tables, etc.) All of these equipments are to capture X-ray radiation coming from the synchrotron. Of course everything everything is coupled together and...

    Optimal sampling and algorihtm

    electricpete thank you for your response. On data crunching: My ADC will provide an acceleration vs. time stream. As I understand the data crunching is the calculation that converts this into the frequency domain (using FFT) a(f) = FFT[a(t)], so then I can recalculate the a(f) into...

    Optimal sampling and algorihtm

    The first Q: I have an 500kHz ADC, 16 bits, what is the optimal sampling rate and sample length to measure vibration displacement spectra in the sub Hz- to kHz range? I am measuring ground and floor vibration using piezoelectric accelerometer. And the second: Can anyone point me to a source of...

    Conversion to PSD?

    Thanks guys for the advice! Peter

    Conversion to PSD?

    >1) Divide the data into frames, say 1024 points/frame. >2) Fourier Transform (FT) the data. >3) Square the FT for each frame. >4) Average the squares from all the frames (for each freq). >5) Divide that number by the frequency resolution (sample rate/frame length). Dear Bob, This is what...

    Conversion to PSD?

    I have a acceleration vs. time and the calculated acceleration vs. frequency and the displacement vs. frequency dependence. How do I get the PSD (micron^2/Hz) vs. frequency from any of these data? Is it correct to take the displacement vs Hz, square it and divide it by the Hz? Needless to say...
