The rugged and intuitive CoCo-80X handheld system is now combined with Crystal Instruments’ patented GPS time synchronization technology (featuring a time accuracy of 100 ns) to further expand field measurement capabilities. Users are now able to execute Operational Modal Analysis using the handheld CoCo-80X to study the dynamic characteristics of large structures such as bridges and buildings.
Read MoreWe recently republished a classic white paper about dynamic signal analysis.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments is excited to announce the release of our new VCS software module, Blade Fatigue Testing (BFT). Fatigue testing of blades is a critical step in mechanical design, whether it be turbine, compressor, or even propeller blades.
Read MoreVCS includes a full range of functions to create/run tests, calculate signals, and analyze/report/export data. Some users may not require all these tests and may prefer a lighter, more signal focused experience. These users can now use our new software program, Signal Viewer.
Read MoreOur team is thrilled to announce the 11.1 version of Engineering Data Management (EDM) software. Packed with a range of new features and improvements, this update is designed to elevate the user experience.
Read MoreWhy Sigma Clipping?
This feature prevents amplifiers from tripping when the input ranges of an amplifier are lesser than the drive signal required to achieve a target GRMS.
Seminar attendees learned everything from the basics of setting up a modal test to best practices in testing and in-depth modal theory. Modal testing variations included hammer excitation, SIMO shaker excitation, and MIMO shaker excitation.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments (Andrew Slaboda, Sales Engineer and Darren Fraser, Vice President of Sales) and Sentek Dynamics (Matthew King, Sales Engineer and Reza Tavana, Director of Sales) attended the annual Auto Test Expo in Novi, Michigan.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments and our French distributor, dB Vib Groupe exhibited at The Aerospace Test and Development Show in Toulouse, France to connect with main manufacturers of aerospace components, complete aircraft, space exploration vessels, urban and inter-urban passenger drones, and air defense systems.
Read MoreDSA is often referred to Dynamic Signal Analysis or Dynamic Signal Analyzer depending on the context. DSA uses various technologies for digital signal processing. Among them, the most fundamental and popular technology is based on the so-called Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The FFT transforms the time domain signals into the frequency domain. To perform FFT-based measurements, it is important to understand the fundamental issues and computations involved.
Read MoreThe Electric Vehicle Battery Show brings together the top talent in the EV Battery industry, from design to manufacturing and testing. This year, the show saw hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of attendees come together to share the latest insights and developments in this exciting industry.
Read MoreCrystal Instruments attended the High-Tech Conference co-hosted by NASA/JPL and the City of Pasadena. The High-Tech Conference is an excellent platform for small businesses to gather insights on potential opportunities through exhibitions, workshops, and networking sessions.
Read MoreAcoustic Consultants are often tasked with analyzing the noise absorption in rooms, studio garages, and storage spaces. The primary challenge in this type of analysis is to find a dynamic signal analyzer with portability, high sampling rate functionality, and complex analysis.
Read MoreSure…sometimes it helps to stand back and look at everything from a complete picture. I have a figure that I have used for many years now to help people see things more clearly. I call it "The Big Picture". Let's just look at this picture and discuss all the pieces individually.
Read MoreI recently created a new PPT to explain how GPS time stamping technology can help conduct dynamic signal measurements for both indoor and outdoor applications. Download a copy.
