On the right track with complete systems from HBM
Measurements in the field of rail cars include the following tasks:
- Mobile data acquisition in a train during movement
- Measurements on the car body or truck in the test stand
- Measurements on the rail or superstructure
The flexible measurement system enables many channels to be synchronously acquired and analyzed. Carrier frequency technique ensures precise mobile data acquisition independent of electromagnetic influences.
