The Tornado measurement system features an extremely robust design at a moderate weight. The folding carrying handle at the top is suited for transport and installation of the instrument in the filed (e. g. in a vehicle).
The Tornado measurement system is especially well suited for:
- Data acquisition and analysis
- Customised multi-channel vibroacoustic measuring instruments
- Sound power measurements
- Noise and vibration monitoring
- Machinery and equipment status monitoring
- Acoustic camera
- Quality assurance
- Research and development
The Tornado measurement system is fully compatible with the type-approved Soundbook_MK2 measurement system.
The following specifications refer to the Tornado_16L measurement system. The measurement systems Tornado_16B, Tornado 32D and Tornado_32S are not equipped for the use with microphones with ±14V/200V microphone supply. ICP power supply for sensors is available with all Apollo measuring boards.
