New 2018 Features Energize VibrationVIEW

Author Thomas Roberts

VibrationVIEW 2018 is fully tested and completely compatible with earlier versions of VibrationVIEW, so you can easily upgrade your testing operations. More importantly, it is loaded with new features that are already delivering clear benefits to testing labs around the world.

NEW TESTING CAPABILITIES

SRTD Control Panel in VibrationVIEW

Peak Tracking in Sine Resonance Track & Dwell (SRTD)
This works by constantly oscillating the phase between the control and response channels at a resonance to maintain the peak transmissibility between the two channels, even when resonances shift due to fatigue. It ensures that peak transmissibility is maintained throughout the tracked dwell portion of the test.

Individual Sine Tones and Random Bands tuned on or off based on the testing schedule
An enhancement for the mixed modes of Sine-on-Sine, Sine-on-Random, and Random-on-Random. This feature means tests can be segmented to focus on different DUT components or different testing characteristics.

Use different control channels for Sine Tones and Broadband Random
A Sine-on-Random enhancement, it allows separate control channels to be used for the Sine Tones and the Broadband Random components of the test.

View the Sine Tone response for up to 8 tones each on Channels 1-4
For Sine-on-Sine and Sine-on-Random, the Sine Tone Profile Graph shows Channel Response Traces from the primary control box (Ch1-4), providing detailed insight into complex response behavior.

STREAMLINED ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES

VibrationVIEW Previous Sweep checkbox

Previous pass traces in Sine:
VibrationVIEW now separates previous sweep data from current sweep data. Users can preserve more sweep data and easily compare sweeps.

Automatically convert traces to control unit values:
For Random analysis, this converts velocity sensor data to acceleration on a PSD graph.

USER INTERFACE FLEXIBILITY

  1. Saved data files open in a separate, dedicated window
  2. Graph docking enhancements: Using tabs instead of panes or classic floating window mode
  3. Customizable main toolbar
  4. More dockable toolbars: Including Manual Control, Projected Levels, and SRTD
  5. iDOF on the Control Bar: In Random, an easier way to turn iDOF on or off
