RIONOTE intuitive user interface
Lets the user select the required program for the respective purpose:
SX-A1FT (FFT analysis), SX-A1RT (octave band analysis), or
SX-A1WR (waveform recording). The right side of the screen provides
access to various settings.
RIONOTE calibration screen
Serves for calibration of microphones or accelerometers connected to the RIONOTE.
Waveform recording
By using the waveform recording program, it is possible to display and record the time waveform of the incoming signal(s). Available recording time depends on the number of input channels and the selected frequency range. The figure below shows a time waveform displayed on the screen of the Main Control Unit.

FFT analysis program SX-A1FT  
sample screens

FFT analysis
RIONOTE enables you to perform FFT analysis on multiple channels simultaneously. The results are shown in clear graphs on the large color screen, in real time, or from stored data when using the recall function. A marker allows you to scroll through the data, and enables the readout of the level of a frequency of interest.
Transfer function
The transfer function represents the relation between an input signal and output signal in the frequency domain, allowing the determination of amplitude and phase.In this mathematical calculation category, the RIONOTE supports coherence function and cross spectrum processing.
 
Waveform post processing
After completing waveform recording (as explained above), the stored waveforms can be displayed on the Main Control Unit's large screen, and played back by using the earphone jack output. Moreover, various secondary post processing functions for the waveform data are available in the Main Control Unit, including FFT analysis as shown in the screen example below.
 

1/3 octave band analysis program SX-A1RT  
sample screens

Octave band analysis
Real time analysis of noise or vibration levels for evaluation and designing countermeasures is usually performed by means of octave band analysis (using either octave bands or 1/3 octave bands). The below screen sample of the RIONOTE displays octave analysis results in 4 channels as a graph and numeric values at the same time.
 

Vibration Analysis Program SX-A1VA  
sample screens

This program adds vibration measurement functions to the RIONOTE Multifunction Measurement System.
All essential vibration measurement functions are provided, enabling equipment diagnosis and trend management for industrial machinery.
The program also supports detailed diagnosis including FFT analysis and envelope processing.
 

Judgement Program (Pass/Fail Evaluation) SX-A1CMP  
sample screens

It is suitable for pass / fail evaluation of noise, vibrations and other phenomena in production or inspection lines.
Allows setting threshold areas for FFT analysis results to determine pass/fail.
Depending on the evaluation purpose, a suitable sensor can be selected from various types of microphones or accelerometers.
Operation control from a PLC is also supported as an option (using the Ethernet connector of the RIONOTE).
 

Order Tracking Program CAT-SAA1-ORDTRK  
sample screen

 
Output the analysis results by connecting microphone, accelerometer as well as tachometer.
Waveform recording enables reanalysis.
Optional Programs for the RIONOTE
Multifunction Measurement System
A wide range of optional programs are available to make measurement operations even more speedy and convenient.
*Details will be shown at the point of a mouse.
