Noise and vibration analysed in real time
The m+p international SO Analyser release 3.2 is the versatile real-time analyzer for noise and vibration measurement, analysis and reporting, in the field and in the lab
M+p international said it is ideally suited for applications with higher channel counts and large quantities of data.
Applications include measurements with single and multi-channel strain gauges, real-time strain and stress calculations, limit checking and communication with the load control system.
Coda is ideally suited for the following applications.
* Structural load cycling and dynamic testing.
* Static and dynamic measurements on engine test stands.
* General-purpose measurements on products and test assemblies.
* Long term continuous product and process data acquisition in production.
For measuring temperatures, pressures, forces, accelerations, frequencies, strains, and so on, Coda processes all such signals without difficulty.
Within a very short time the system will configure high-channel count applications using hundreds of channels, safely and efficiently.
As standard, Coda supports a wide range of VXIbus and LXIbus front-ends, which are ideally suited for many measurement tasks in industry, on account of their performance, measurement accuracy and reliability.
Other measurement instrumentation can be easily integrated and Coda also communicates with subordinate process computers for data transfer from existing equipment.
Key features include the following.
* Client/server architecture.
* SQL data base for parameter management.
* Automatic front-end identification.
* Real-time analysis of virtual channels using user-specific mathematical functions.
* Alarm functions with user definable alarm actions specified for every channel.
* Data replay or data export into common file formats.
