NVH Analysis with NVH Analyzer Pro data acquisition software is the solution for simultaneously acquiring and displaying signals from different sources and saving them in a file.
With the post-processing function, all powerful math and analysis functions can also be applied to the already saved data.
Operating deflection shape analysis with impulse hammer and raw data recording
Operating Deflection Shapes (ODS) analysis software can be used individually or in conjunction with other applications.
The software features tailored workflows and include all the necessary functionality for conducting ODS measurement and analysis, such as time, spectral and run-up/down.
This short presentation demonstrates the recording of nine IEPE accelerometers mounted on a steel plate.
The steel plate is excited by an impulse hammer in order to generate raw data for an operational vibration analysis.
