VibControl Revision 2.7 Now Available

The latest update of m+p international's VibControl shaker control systems offers interesting software enhancements. They make the VibControl systems for environmental test simulation and vibration analysis even more powerful and user-friendly.

VibControl now provides a complete solution for time domain replication of field data on electrodynamic or hydraulic shakers. The powerful graphical editor simplifies the reviewing and compiling of your field sample data and ensures test feasibility is thoroughly evaluated at an early stage. An unmatched range of powerful tools is available at test completion to generate informative reports.

Typical applications include: roadload simulation, engine vibration replication, replication of flight recorded vibration such as gunfire, replication of package transportation vibration data, long-time transient signal replication (e.g. earthquake simulation).

The newly integrated VibUtil is a powerful tool for automated functional and climatic testing, allowing vibration tests of identical or different modes to be executed automatically. Using a time control function, it is possible to automatically start a second test upon completion of the first test. Time delays can be defined between two tests, e.g. in order to wait for a climatic chamber to heat up. Users are able to receive test sequence status reports ("Test aborted" or "Test successfully completed") anywhere via E-mail or via SMS.

VibControl supports not only Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 operating systems, but is now also Windows XP compatible. The latest release precalculates and displays the sine responses of the input channels and the expected drive after the selfcheck to detect potential overloads well before test start. Other new features include over-turning moment notching in sine control mode, storage of selfcheck results and test logs under the same name and online integration/differentation of all measured values during the test run in classical shock mode.
