Coda
Continuous Data Acquisition, Signal Analysis and Process Monitoring

Coda is m+p international’s universal, turnkey software platform for fast and efficient measurements – irrespective of the channel count. With its intuitive user interface, comprehensive functionality and data base management of set-ups and results it is ideally suited for applications with higher channel counts and large quantities of data:

• General-purpose measurements on products
  and test assemblies
• Structural load cycling and dynamic testing
• Static and dynamic measurements on engine
  test stands
• Long-term continuous product and process data acquisition in production
• Process monitoring in power plants, refineries,
  water or sewage works

Whether temperatures, pressures, forces, accelerations, frequencies, strains, etc. are to be measured - Coda processes all these signals without difficulty. High-channel count applications using hundreds of channels can be configured within a very short time and are handled safely and efficiently.

Measurement Hardware

Coda supports a wide range of VXIbus frontends from VXI Technology inc. which are outstandingly suited for many
measurement tasks in industry and in the laboratory because
of their performance, measurement accuracy and reliability:
