Digital Filters & Resampling in Post Analyzer

Digital filters are powerful tools utilized during the data conditioning phase to analyze signals. These filters empower users to augment signal processing capabilities by integrating them with other data conditioning modules, thus generating advanced post-analysis functionalities. Among the primary types of real-time digital filters are the Decimation filter, the FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter, and the IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter.

Using the CoCo-90X to ensure safe and reliable lift bridge operations

Using purpose driven equipment like the CoCo-90X, an advanced battery powered dynamic signal analyzer that scales up to 16 input channels, IVC Technologies can collect more input channels than traditional walk around data collectors and can record time streams for several minutes or longer to observe and capture data from the entire raising and lowering of the bridge in one data set. With 16 channels, vibration data can be collected on the motors, gearboxes, and sheave bearings synchronously. This both reduces the overall collection time and increases the ability to properly access the synchronous data.

Off Route Measurements on CoCo-70X

Off Route measurements are linked to machines in the database using a system called Job Management. When taking Off Route data, the measurements are stored under jobs and each job is assigned to a machine. The job-machine relationship is maintained after syncing the CoCo with VDS, so Off Route measurements are automatically associated with the correct machines.

New Ultra-compact Spider-20H, Spider-20HE, & Spider-20i with 256 kHz Sampling Rate

Featuring the highest sampling rate provided in the industry at 256 kHz. Handheld battery powered system with wired & wireless network options and 20V input range. Sync between multiple devices. Choose the convenient portable model or industrial model for permanent mounting.

The Spider-20H, Spider-20HE, and Spider-20i received a hardware upgrade to support an impressive 256 kHz samping rate on all 4 input channels. It is the highest sampling rate offered in the market of compact analyzers. The high sampling rate is especially beneficial for measuring high orders and transient capture in blast tests, pyroshock events, drop shock tests, crash tests, etc.

In addition to the high samping rate, the input range is expanded to 20V to capture larger signals.

Simplify the User Interface and Manage Different Levels of Users

EDM’s Account Management program controls the accessibility of features from different users. This provides a structure for managing the privileges for different groups of users. The Account Manager can be used to prevent lower-level users from adjusting parameters or display settings. It also allows users to customize the toolbars for a simplified user interface. By hiding certain features, the UI can be made much easier to use.
