High-channel-count Systems
VR10500 Vibration Controller
The VR10500 is a powerful option for high-channel-count and multi-shaker system control.
Features
- 8 to 512 input channels
- 256kHz sample rate
- 6 outputs (4 analog and 2 digital)
- Multi-shaker control (triaxial, dual shaker, etc.)
- Control and analyzer capabilities
- Supports advanced configurations
- Interlocks, voltage monitoring, and remote control
High-channel-count test setups are easier to manage with the VR10500 hardware.
- Range selection in dialogs
- Page through groups of channels with Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn
- Option to always display large input configuration table
- Channel LEDs provide connection status of IEPE accelerometers
- Save an input profile to a test profile
Multi-channel Analysis
Analyze test data or independent verification data in the ObserVIEW software. ObserVIEW can import 100+ GB of recordings, ideal for processing large files from multi-channel setups.
Random Vibration Testing
In VibrationVIEW, fulfill test standards with Random testing software features such as:
- Tabular frequency/amplitude breakpoint table
- Up to 9,999 entries
- Enter values manually or copy & paste a table from Excel
- Individual channel tolerances (PSD and RMS)
- Control and channel aborts (RMS)
- Spectral limiting/notching
- Notch on a PSD calculation between multiple sensors
- Multi-channel averaging for better control of resonances or extremal control
- 104,000 lines of resolution
- Probability density function (PDF) display
Random Software Innovations
Kurtosion®
Kurtosion allows you to adjust the RMS and kurtosis levels of a random test while maintaining the test profile and spectrum attributes.
TruClip™
Clip What Matters
TruClip predicts the drive signal and removes peaks that would exceed the acceleration, velocity, or displacement limitations of the shaker.
Instant Degrees of Freedom (iDOF)
Instant Degrees of Freedom (iDOF) employs an advanced algorithm to deliver accurate and low-variance PSD estimates that are calculated quicker than traditional averaging.
Notching
Limit vibration at an input channel to prevent over-testing or potential damage. In VibrationVIEW, engineers can define a notch for each input channel in the Sine and Random test modes. They can also simultaneously define a notch table and an abort table for an individual channel.
Force Limiting
Prevent over-testing due to large base reaction forces or other responses at the structure’s fixed-base resonant frequencies.
Shock Testing
Classical Shock
Perform closed-loop control of transient waveforms and access the most used classical shock pulses in the industry. Learn more.
User-Defined Transient
Create arbitrary periodic waveforms and have better control over short-duration time history files, transient events, and short-load data. Learn more.
Shock Response Spectrum
Evaluate a device’s response to a transient event likely to occur in the end environment; define SRS parameters and synthesize a pulse to meet a specified SRS curve. Learn more.
Aerospace Companies Using VR Products
Case Studies
Controlling Resonance Oscillations with Adaptive Feedback
An aircraft manufacturer ran a high cycle fatigue (HCF) test on a unit clamped to a fixture. The test began oscillating after the resonance peak, which the customer addressed with the SRTD adaptive feedback setting.
Automating Data Analysis Between Test Levels with Math Traces
An aerospace customer sought to perform calculations on live data recorded during testing and display them on a graph. They automated some of this process with math traces.
Record Field Data
The ObserVR1000 hardware can be controlled remotely with the VR Mobile application, which runs on a smartphone or tablet using a WiFi connection. Set up, monitor, and modify field data recording without a wired configuration.
Engineers can use the recorded data to characterize the field and build vibration test profiles for real-world simulation.
MONITOR TESTS REMOTELY
Observe live data recording from any mobile device. Select, start, and stop the test; analyze issues with a live FFT display.
SET UP AUTONOMOUS ACQUISITION
Define any number of triggering events to record data without interference. Save processing time, capture transient events, drive external equipment, and more.
CONNECT A TACHOMETER
Configure a dual or quadrature tachometer to measure rotation. Encoder types include wheel, rotational, or scalar.
DISPLAY GPS DATA
View position updates at about 1Hz along with GPS timebase synchronization. Then, play the GPS media files in sync with a waveform recording.
Shaker Compatibility
VR’s controllers and control software are compatible with any shaker. Our qualified sales team can work with you to select the right equipment at the right price. We’ll put together a custom package of hardware, software, and shakers for all your foreseeable testing needs.

Mix & Match Controllers with Shakers
Control modules can be used independently on separate shakers or linked into a single stack for jobs requiring a higher channel count (up to 512 channels with the VR10500).
This cost-effective solution creates substantial savings for our customers.
Small Satellite Testing
Test engineers use vibration testing to verify that a small satellite such as a CubeSat can withstand the launch environment. VibrationVIEW includes software modules applicable to small satellite vibration testing, including shock and random vibration testing and sine sweeps. Learn more.
Copy > Paste in Excel & Word
Copy and paste vibration test profiles and graphs between VibrationVIEW and Microsoft Word/Excel. This feature is especially useful when sharing test profiles, entering customer data, or entering lengthy or complicated test profiles.
