Abstract
A measuring system includes a vibration-type transducer and electrically coupled measuring system electronics unit for controlling the transducer and evaluating vibration measurement signals provided by the transducer. The exciter arrangement has a vibration exciter which is positioned and aligned such that a drive offset is no more than 0.5% of the tube length. The measuring system electronics are configured to supply electrical power to the vibration exciter by means of an electrical drive signal having a temporally variable electrical current and to provide the drive signal at least intermittently with a sinusoidal second useful current having a second AC frequency, in order to monitor a quality of the measured substance based upon a corresponding second useful signal component of at least one of the vibration measurement signals.
