Seminar: Basic principles of calibration in vibration engineering

For whom? First-time users,  metrology technicians, persons responsible for test equipment

What is it about? The seminar will provide you with a general overview of theoretical principles and demonstrate calibration methods and calibration setups by means of practical examples.

What will you learn? After completing the seminar, participants will have gained a basic understanding of various types of devices under test, the relevant standards, possible influencing variables on the measurement uncertainty and options for minimizing or eliminating interferences during calibration.
