Thank you Brant, I saw vibration measuring project in Elector (well... 20 years old). There was extra weight in role of changing nelinear piezo characteristic (I suppose) and moving peak in region of interest or widening it. Today one can do this in software, like you do. I like to see physical realization of sensor (xyz) and mounting solution (I already have piezo - 10 peaces, without enclosure). It will be very good if you have some gif or jpg pictures. I want to monitor ball valves in slurry pump (80bar). Thank you for links (I will download later).

Don't know why you would want to do that.

Just like a regular piezo sounder without the hole in the front. I think a regular piezo might be just as effective, depending on your application. > Brent Brown Electronic Design Solutions 16 English Street Hamilton, New Zealand Ph/fax: +64 7 849 0069 Mobile/text: 025 334 069 eMail: brent.brown@clear.net.nz > -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
