  • Page 12 MODEL 483C41 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 1-4.1. Grounding Techniques Integrating this model into an application that links the outputs to other test equipment powered by line voltages may lead to errors or loss of signal-to-noise ratio due to ground loops. The evidence of ground loops is easily seen whenever the fundamental frequency (50 or 60 Hz) or a multiple of the fundamental frequency is present in the system when the sensors are “at rest.”...

  • Page 14 MODEL 483C41 GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL 2-6. Normalized Output Sensitivity The definition of normalized output sensitivity is the calculation of the individual channel’s gain, depending on the sensitivity of the sensor attached and the desired output sensitivity. This is simply a function of the desired output sensitivity (in Volts/ unit) divided by the sensor’s sensitivity.
