4 IEPE Sensor Inputs + Scientific FFT Analyzer Software

RogaDAQ4 Set A powerful solution for sound and vibration measurements

ROGA offers a wide range of data acquisition systems specifically designed for the monitoring and measurement of sound and vibration.

The RogaDAQ4 Set is a powerful package of 4-channel USB-based data acquisition hardware and comprehensive NVH-FFT software that enables accurate and efficient data analysis.

In combination with a standard notebook and a triaxial accelerometer, the RogaDAQ4 Set becomes a portable vibration analysis laboratory with integrated tools for signal processing and visualisation of sound and vibration data.

NVH-FFT Analyzer Software

The RogaDAQ4 vibration analyser set can be operated directly from NVH Analyzer software.

This makes it possible to carry out complex experiments such as:

Drivers for .NET, ANSI C, Visual C++ 6.0, Delphi, DASYLab, LabView and MatLab are available free of charge.
