Data Acquisition Equipment /
A range of industry standard data acquisition equipment enables a full range of dynamic testing and analysis.
The LMS SCADAS system offers industry leading signal acquisition and conditioning hardware in a rugged, IP32-rated mobile chassis. The hardware is supported by a comprehensive suite of software (Test.Lab) enabling a full range of testing from fundamental spectral and modal analysis through to Ground Vibration and Military Standard testing. The NI system offers the flexibility to perform a wide range of testing from low to high channel counts (up to 129 IEPE accelerometer inputs), with the flexibility to programme test campaigns and implement bespoke analysis through the LabVIEW software package.
