Abstract
An inline measuring device comprising a measurement pickup of vibration-type and measuring device electronics electrically coupled with the measurement pickup. The measurement pickup includes at least one, essentially straight measuring tube, an exciter mechanism acting on the measuring tube for causing the at least one measuring tube to vibrate, during operation, with torsional oscillations about a torsional oscillation axis, and a sensor arrangement for registering vibrations of the at least one measuring tube and delivering at least one oscillation measurement signal representing oscillations of the measuring tube. The measuring device electronics delivers, at least at times, an exciter signal driving the exciter mechanism and generates, by means of at least one of: the at least one oscillation measurement signal and the exciter signal, at least one measured value, which represents at least one physical, measured variable of the medium to be measured.
