VibrationVIEW 2019

Author Thomas Roberts

VibrationVIEW 2019 is ready and waiting for you to download.  Packed with new features, fully tested, and 100% compatible with all shakers makes it an easy upgrade for your testing operations.

Enhanced Testing

Real-time FFT display in Random

The random package now allows users to display an ongoing FFT calculation during a live test or playback of a time history file. Because the FFT graph doesn’t involve the averaging used for a PSD graph, an isolated spike in a frequency response is instantly visible. Previously, this feature was only available with the Analysis package.

Option to define breakpoints by a fixed slope entry

Adding even more flexibility to the breakpoint table definition, VibrationVIEW will now calculate breakpoint frequencies, given the desired amplitude and slope between breakpoints.

New capabilities for mixed-modes (SoS/SoR)

To help deal with unique phenomena and complex situations, users can now define high and low abort limits for each individual sine tone during Sine-on-Sine (SoS) and Sine-on-Random (SoR) mixed-mode tests.

Along the same lines, all notching options currently available with Sine and Random tests are now also available with SoS and SoR mixed-mode tests.

Required velocity for a test displayed in Peak

The required velocity for a Random test profile is now displayed in Peak rather than RMS. This is convenient because system limits are defined in Peak and is a more useful measurement for velocity than RMS.

Enable open-loop output from an ObserVR1000

In Transient Capture Test Settings, the Output can be configured for Linear Chirp, Exponential Chirp, or Burst Random; these are all open-loop outputs that can drive an ObserVR1000 for modal applications.

Enhanced Analysis

Integration with ObserVIEW

VibrationVIEW users now have easier access to ObserVIEW’s advanced analysis functions. Improved integration between the two software packages includes a default to open, then view, edit, and analyze time history recordings in ObserVIEW.

Enhanced Reports

Auto-annotate Peak Values

It’s often handy for reporting to annotate the peaks in Acceleration vs. Frequency graphs. To make it easy, auto-annotation, or peak tagging, is now available in VibrationVIEW.

Easy access to Test Event info for reports

VibrationVIEW automatically records the times for a full set of test events, which can be very useful for reporting. Now users can easily query and report out on these Events with the event log report parameter.

For visual impact, users can also add event log markers to time history graphs.

Scale Y-axis of PSD in G/rtHZ

Users can now change the Y-axis unit from G2/Hz, which is typical in vibration testing, to G/rtHZ, which is more commonly used to display electronic and noise characteristics.
