Random Vibration Testing
Validate Reliability
In VibrationVIEW, fulfill test standards with random software features such as:
- Frequency/amplitude breakpoint table (up to 9,999 entries)
- Individual channel tolerances (PSD and RMS)
- Control and channel aborts (RMS)
- Spectral limiting/notching
- Multi-channel average and extremal control
- 50 to 26,000 lines of control (or up to 50,000Hz with the VR9203 High-Frequency option)
- Probability density function (PDF) display
Kurtosis Control – Kurtosion
Present-day methods of random testing assume a Gaussian mode of distribution where the kurtosis value equals three. However, not all data fit Gaussian distribution, and this assumption can result in under-testing.
A better method is to adjust the distribution of data to reflect the field environment, which involves the adjustment of kurtosis.
Kurtosion is a closed-loop method of kurtosis control developed by Vibration Research. It allows for the adjustment of kurtosis levels while maintaining the test profile and spectrum attributes.
Short Duration Testing – iDOF
Instant Degrees of Freedom (iDOF) employs an advanced, patented algorithm to deliver accurate and low-variance PSD estimates that are calculated quicker than traditional averaging. With iDOF, a test engineer can verify that the control PSD is within tolerance and determine how the test affects the DUT. Most importantly, the engineer can stop the test before the energy from a vibration resonance inflicts damage.
Force Limiting
Prevent Over-Testing
- Apply a force limit to one or multiple axes during a sine sweep.
- Sum the output of the force transducers and notch on the total force applied during a Random test.
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 profiles with colleagues, entering data from a customer, or entering lengthy or complicated test profiles.

Shaker Compatibility
VR’s controllers and control software are compatible with any shaker.
DOES YOUR LAB REQUIRE LARGER SHAKERS? VR CAN HELP!
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.
ObserVR1000 & VR Mobile
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.
Autonomous DAQ
– 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.
Shock Vibration 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 Waveform Control
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.
Using Recorded Data to Improve SRS Development
A modified user waveform based on an enveloped set of recordings maintains real-world characteristics and creates an SRS waveform that accurately reflects the recorded events.
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 total).
This cost-effective solution creates substantial savings for our customers.
