The Field Data Replication (FDR) software can playback a recorded time-history file as a control reference. By replicating a waveform from the field environment, the test engineer can more accurately reproduce a test environment, including the high peaks, on a shaker in the lab.
This video walks through the generation of an FDR test in VibrationVIEW and provides tips on how to navigate the software.
