Crystal Instruments is pleased to announce the release of EDM 10.1 with powerful updates on both hardware and software levels.
Spider users are now provided with support for a convenient and versatile SQLite database engine to facilitate easy installations, usage, and backup to various operating systems.
EDM Cloud and EDM Mobile App allows unlimited users to simultaneously monitor testing and results from anywhere in the world.
The EDM 10.1 release upgrades Spider hardware to support a 512 kHz sampling rate, which is sufficient to cover the gamut of Pyroshock and transient capture applications.
Fatigue Damage Spectrum (FDS) analysis can now analyze multiple vibration recordings to generate an appropriate Random or Sine-on-Random test profile to use in a VCS-Random test.
CI Data File Reader decodes, displays, and saves signals through a user’s custom software. The reader also allows users to directly import signal data into popular analysis platforms such as Matlab or Python.
An outline of significant EDM 10.1 release features is listed below. Please refer to our detailed release notes to learn more about the EDM 10.1 release.
