modal potentiometer


Explanation:
It really makes no sense to me, but if we are measuring eigenmodes, it would make sense that "modal" refers to "mode" in that sense.

"Pot" is a common abbreviation for "potentiometer", but I don't know that these can be used to measure eigenmodes.

Presumably the modes concerned are the vibration modes, i.e. that will cause things to rattle and shake

Asker: Thank you Bourth, I really can't get so far as your explanation. It's why I select Modal Sensor. Good luck!

neutral  chris collister: In modal analysis the instrument of choice is the accelerometer. These are often "pot" shaped.
