A new version of VibrationVIEW (2025.2) is available for download. In this latest software release, combine report files or data for multi-document reports, access new unit and tolerance options in Sine, and more.
Multi-document Reports
VibrationVIEW’s Report Builder allows engineers to generate and save custom report templates within the software. Report Builder displays a preview of the working design and updates automatically to parameter adjustments, making it easy to create polished and comprehensive reports.
Updates have been made to the Report Builder to simplify the process of combining report files or data. With these updates, users can better create multi-document reports, ideal for laboratories that run multiple tests. Additionally, the load time performance has improved for quick reporting of multiple files.
Multi-doc Options
- Copy and paste the content of multiple report files into one report
- Create a report comprised of multiple files by appending multiple .vvtemplate reports (Report > Combine Reports)
- Insert report parameters from multiple saved data files into one report with the syntax {Docvariable Doc1!StopCode}{Docvariable Doc2!StopCode}, etc.
- Select an active data file from a drop-down list when editing a report with more than one data file
Show Control Buttons in File Viewer
The control buttons have been moved in File Viewer for an improved user experience. Users can see the last values of the control buttons after opening a data file. They can also drag control button parameter values onto the graph when the data file is open without needing the report parameters dialog.
SoR Sine Tone Tolerance Defined in dB or %
Sine-on-Random tests in VibrationVIEW superimpose one or multiple sinusoids on a random test profile, and the control system outputs the signals to the shaker table at the same time. In version 2025.2, users can define the sine tone tolerances in decibels (dB) or as a percentage. Some test standards define limits as a percentage, and this change aligns with customer needs.
New Control Unit Selection Options in Sine
Users can define default control units for acceleration, velocity, displacement, etc., under Configuration > Units. They can adjust these preset units when creating an individual test.
In Sine, the test settings now include unit system presets for ease of configuration. The user can select one of three typical unit configurations to change the acceleration, velocity, and displacement units at once.
Enhancements
TEDS Sensor Connection Process and Sensor Recovery Capability
Vibration Research has improved the functionality of reading TEDS sensors following a customer issue with several TEDS sensors after calibration. To avoid this issue, we enhanced the TEDS connection logic and provided a recovery option for TEDS sensors that reach a failed state to restore their operation.
Additional Features
- Option to set default background color for delta cursor annotations
- Update references to ActiveX to Microsoft’s standard “Automation”
- Bug fixes and performance improvements
