Using the RIONOTE Multifunction Measurement System together with the Wireless Dock SA-A1WD greatly facilitates setup because there is no more need to deploy cables before the measurement and retrieve them afterwards. Furthermore, equipment transport requirements are also reduced. Difficult measurement locations, for example on both sides of a railroad track or a road no longer present a problem when the wireless option is used. The handy notebook size and light weight (approx. 1.2 kg) of the RIONOTE unit make it easily portable, and battery driven operation further enhances flexibility. In a scenario such as making railroad noise measurements on cold days, having to spend long periods of time outdoors can create hardship for operators. In such a case, being able to monitor and control the measurement equipment from an indoor location or from inside a vehicle will greatly improve working conditions.
While being transmitted wirelessly, the measurement data are also saved on an SD card in the amplifier unit of the wireless dock. This prevents data loss in case of an interruption of the radio connection during measurement. When the measurement is completed, the measurement data in the amplifier unit are downloaded to the RIONOTE unit.
