1.0 Introduction

The Tenor Data Logger from Soft dB is an 8-channel acquisition system that can collect
data from different sensors (ICP and pre-amplified sensors). This instrument is based on
an external acquisition USB unit and a PC application, and is suitable for acoustic and
vibratory measurements.

The Tenor instrument has been designed to be a high-quality acquisition system at a
reasonable price. This has been achieved through a careful selection of electronic
components and by the design of an efficient communication architecture. Combined with
an easy-to-use PC interface, the Tenor is a great alternative to expensive vibro-acoustic
acquisition systems by other major manufacturers.

Here are the main features of the Tenor system:

8 analog inputs and 4 analog outputs

Sampling rate of 48.8 kHz per channel

3 input types: Direct DC, Direct AC and ICP

Realtime acquisition/data-logging for up to 8 inputs/4 outputs using the standard
wave file format

Realtime monitoring of input and output signals during acquisition (time signal,
global levels historic and average Sxx)

Complete post-processing module for signal analysis and playback functions

This user manual explains in-detail the use of the Tenor Data Logger software.

Note: Be sure to install the USB driver before launching the Tenor software. See section
2.0 for more details.
