AT2040 Portable Vibration Calibrator
Three test methods to choose from
SHAKE
Mode one is a "shake" operation in which the PVC operates as a simple shaker table. This is useful for performing end-to-end checks or other vibration testing where accelerometer sensitivity is not needed.
Simulate
The third main method of operation is "simulate" mode. Simulator mode is similar to "shake" mode, but a function generator is used instead of the electrodynamic shaker. The advantages of using simulator mode to perform vibration checks are numerous. The simulator is more accurate and performs over a wider range because it is not bound to the mechanical limitations of the electrodynamic shaker.
Sensor Sensitivity Test
The second mode to select from is "test" mode which displays the accelerometer or proximity probe sensitivity reading. These readings can be done in manual mode or full automatic mode. When performing sensitivity test in full automatic mode, a PDF calibration certificate is also generated by the AT-2040 portable vibration calibrator.

Simulator
AT2040 features a built-in Vibration Signal Generator capable of producing high-accuracy electrical signals over a wide frequency and amplitude range. Designed specifically to simulate accelerometer output, the AT-2040 accelerometer calibrator features the ability to simulate current, voltage, and charge signals that precisely mimic a variety of transducers and sensors. By using the simulator signal, the operator is able to produce signals over a larger range than using the vibration shaker alone.
