Applicable Test Lab Vibration Control Software
Sine
Enter two values out of the four between Acceleration, Frequency, Velocity, or Displacement, and the calculator will do the rest.
Sine Resonance Track & Dwell (SRTD)
Automatically detect transmissibility peaks from a sine sweep, and then dwell tests (time or cycles) run at those resonances.
Random
Measure your products fatigue and calculate its lifespan. Commonly used life acceleration techniques are applied to shorten test time.
Shock
Run standard classical shock pulses as well as (optional) user-defined or SRS synthesized transient pulses.
Field Data Replication
Reproduce, in your test lab on your shaker, the actual acceleration waveform you measure in the field.

Mix & Match Controllers with Shakers
Each four-channel module can be used independently on separate shakers or linked into a single stack for jobs requiring a higher channel count (up to 128 channels combined). This economic solution creates substantial cost savings for our customers.
File Sharing and Reporting
All systems include our full, robust reporting package which automatically produces presentation-ready, sophisticated reports at the end of a testing sequence. Users select one of our pre-packaged report templates with options to enter important data such as technician, customer name, time, date, test parameters, and more, or creating their own custom, branded reports. VibrationVIEW also allows report generation from PC’s not connected to the controller.
Trial Rental Keys
The VR software packages can be configured for as many or as few test modules as you’d like (à la carte). You may add more at any time in the future.
Lifetime Hardware Warranty
Vibration Research warrants the controller hardware to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the product.
Bulletproof Inputs
200V tolerant self-resetting fuse protected inputs protect your controller from transients
Software Key Structure
Our control software modules are activated by electronic keys, so you can “rent” modules if you find you have short term needs for specific tests. Not sold on rental or purchase? Feel free to try it out for a week or two.
Remote Interlocks
Shut down your shaker, amplifier and blower as a scheduled function upon the completion of any test saving significant facility costs.
Test Sequencer
A test sequence provides the capability to automatically execute a sequence of tests. All of the tests may be the same type of application or you can switch modes as part of the test sequence.
A few Labs using VR
Instant Degrees of Freedom
Something is awry with a PSD estimate that achieves total in-tolerance immediately after the test begins or immediately after a change in level, and this can hide dangerous over or under test conditions within specific frequency bands, and should be voided. The proper method of dealing with level changes, as well as a PSD estimation method that accurately and quickly estimates the true signal PSD significantly faster than the traditional averaging method is Instant Degrees of Freedom® (iDOF).
Copy > Paste with Excel & Word in VibrationVIEW
Copy & Paste Vibration Test Profiles and Graphs into and out of Microsoft Word & Excel. This is especially useful when sharing profiles with colleagues or entering from a customer.

Compare Field Data to a Specification
Industry standard vibration tests are used by hundreds of labs to test thousands of products every year. But how closely do the standard tests duplicate the real-world operational environment of those products? Are you over or under testing your product? Is this the best representation of a real world environment?
Field Data Replication
Reproduce your data 1:1 as it happened in the real world (transportation simulation). However, this can be time consuming.
Random Import
Run your recorded data. Run Random peaks as average, peak hold or somewhere in the middle. But, for how long?
