Abstract

As a result of the need to know the exact performance characteristics of the manometry systems utilised during the course of experiments, and in the operating room, we have constructured a simple device by means of which a visual image of the frequency-amplitude response envelope of such systems can be quickly and easily obtained.

Sommaire

Dans le but de connaître les performances exactes des systèmes manométriques utilisés au cours des expériences, et en la salle d'opération, nous avons fabriqué un dispositif simple permettant d'obtenir rapidement et facilement une image visuelle de la réponse en amplitude et en fréquence de tels systèmes.

Zusammenfassung

Um die genauen Leistungsmerkmale von manometrischen Systemen festuzustellen, die bei Experimenten und im Operationssaal Verwendung finden, haben wir ein einfaches Gerät gebaut, durch das man schnell und leicht ein sichtbares Bild des Frequenz-Amplitudengangbereichs eines solchen Systems erhält.
