Abstract
This chapter introduces the typical hardware and software process that leads to the measured ambient data in operational modal analysis. Common aspects are discussed, including sensor/hardware noise, aliasing, quantization error and synchronization. Basic concepts for calibrating measurement noise are also discussed.
