Noise and vibration measurements are putting engineers and technicians under increasing pressure today. Customers demand quieter, more comfortable, and longer-lasting products. Governments are enacting increasingly stringent regulations regarding noise levels and environmental sustainability. At the same time, tighter budgets and higher efficiency targets require that more tasks be completed in less time. This environment has a major impact on companies’ engineering departments. Given the demand to perform more tests with fewer staff in less time and on reduced budgets, versatility is a key requirement for these departments. Test equipment must meet the same requirements to be justified for test engineers and technicians.
