Measurement device vs. measurement system
A spotWave-, linWave- or conditionWave measurement system consists of the appropriate measurement
device (or simply called device), an AE sensor, and an end device (such as a PC, laptop, mobile device, etc.)
as well as all necessary accessories for conducting a measurement. The device is the box or chassis which
holds the signal processor and logic. It is labeled accordingly as spotWave-, linWave- or conditionWave
device.
