The 2019 Sensors Expo & Conference took place this year at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, hosting 7,500+ attendees and 350+ exhibitors and showcasing sensor technologies ranging from wireless IoT applications to medical and automotive technologies.
Read MoreEDM’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.

Read MoreI know that many people will say that a double impact is totally unacceptable. It is not the optimum condition for collecting impact data for a modal test. However, under certain circumstances, it may be reasonable to accept a measurement that has resulted from a double impact. Let's discuss this problem that may arise when a double impact occurs and explain how to determine if the measurement is acceptable or not.
Read MoreThe Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) held the 2019 Noise and Vibration Conference in Grand Rapids Michigan this year. The conference, which is a biennial event, took place from June 10th to the 13th and drew roughly 1,000 engineers focused on NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) and sound quality measurements. Crystal Instruments was proud to take part in sponsoring the conference this year.

Read MoreCombined vibration testing is gaining prominence due to the advancement of test equipment technology driven by the need to accomplish simultaneous testing of multiple measurement quantities. Vibration testing combined with temperature, humidity or a combination of other quantities has enabled the creation of test environments closely resembling typical scenarios in which DUTs operate.
Read MoreWell, that's a very good question. Its one that comes up often in terms of running modal tests with a shaker excitation. Of course it is totally acceptable to run one test with a shaker at some oblique angle to the structure. But the only thing we need to be careful about is to assure that we don't select the reference point at the node of a mode.
Read MoreThe 2019 IEST ESTECH conference was held in Las Vegas, NV from April 29 through May 2nd, 2019. This year, Dr. James Zhuge provided a technical presentation explaining Crystal Instruments’ combined Temperature, Humidity, and Vibration (THV) Control system. Dr. Zhuge provided the opportunity for attendees to gain first-hand knowledge regarding Crystal Instruments latest technologies offered for environmental testing systems.

Read MoreCrystal Instruments and Sentek Dynamics attended the 2019 Automotive Testing Expo held in Stuttgart, Germany. Every year all the main players in the automotive testing industry display their new products and technologies at this exhibition.
Read MoreThe capabilities of Crystal Instruments’ Spider devices are well known and the ability of the Spider to operate without a PC makes it advantageous for several applications, including vibration control.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments recently released version of EDM 8.0 software allows users to view the selected characteristics (e.g., Peak, RMS or Peak to Peak) of a channel versus time for the entire duration of the test. This feature is included in all vibration control tests and allows users to track user-defined characteristics of any channel (including the control signal) for the duration of a test.
