Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1271111A1] The excitation circuit has a peak value detector (pd) receiving a signal from one of the sensors (7,8) positioned along the vibrating measuring tube of the flowmeter at its input and a comparator (sa) comparing the output of the peak value detector with an adjustable reference signal (Sr) defining a vibration amplitude. The output of the comparator is multiplied with the input signal of the peak value detector via a multiplier (m) coupled to an output stage (ps) supplying the excitation assembly (6) for vibration of the measuring tube. An Independent claim for a coriolis mass flowmeter provided with an excitation circuit is also included.
