Issue 1/2007

Welcome to our latest Newsletter about the Vibration & Environmental test world in addition to the latest information from m+p international.
The m+p international Newsletter is circulated exclusively to test engineers and managers involved in vibration test, data acquisition and signal analysis and hopes to bring you some useful technical snippets gleaned from around the world and from around the test and measurement industry. We always look forward to your inputs, send us your views to newsletter@mpihome.com.

SO Analyzer is m+p international's versatile real-time analyzer for noise and vibration measurement, analysis and reporting for the field and in the lab. Our latest SO Analyzer release, Revision 3.1, provides very useful enhancements such as sine reduction, an advanced order tracking filter for rotating machinery analysis, new source modes for both National Instruments and VXI Technology source hardware, 32-bit support of VT1432B, VT1435, VT1436 VXI cards, support of VT2216 VXI throughput disc, a sound card replay tool, MATLAB 7 compatibility, 3D chart calculator, extended functionality for Pass-by-Noise testing, and lots more.

Along with our measurement hardware partner VXI Technology, we are proud to announce m+p international’s SO Analyzer software has been selected by
Prof. Randy Allemang (Director of the University of Cincinnati Structural Dynamic Research Lab -SDRL) for use by the students of the Structures and Motion Laboratory.

Six seats of LXI/VXI laptop based systems were installed enabling the students to utilize the VT1435 24-bit, 100 kHz, 8-channel input modules with output source and new LXI Ethernet interface. m+p’s SO Analyzer software worked immediately after interfacing the new hardware and allowed a range of dynamic measurements to be acquired the first day of scheduled labs. The ease of use, extensive integrated analysis and visualization along with direct conversion to MATLAB allows students to focus on understanding the measurements instead of loosing time learning software.

This continues the long standing relationship between m+p international and the SDRL which has resulted in many exciting and productive product features such as m+p’s Impact Measurement Wizard, the Polyreference Time Domain
Curve Fit, Advanced MDOF Wizard and Multivariate Mode Indicator Function.

NASA Langley Research Center selected m+p international's SO Analyzer to support existing installations of VXI and National Instrument measurement hardware. NASA's Structural Acoustics, Systems Integration/Test and Aero-Elasticity Branches installed seven seats of the SO Analyzer data acquisition and analysis software to preserve their investment in hardware, guarantee product support and future software development.

All installations were completed within one day and included two National Instruments PXI based systems as well as five VXI Technology VXI based systems, with a total channel count exceeding 200 channels. The interface with existing PC workstation went seamlessly with support of MXI-2, IEEE 1394 FireWire, PCI Express and MXI-4 standards.
The ease of use of SO Analyzer allowed the users at NASA to produce results immediately with very little training.

The new 8-page VibControl brochure will give you a good overview of the exceptional functionality and performance of our VibControl systems for vibration control on electrodynamic and hydraulic shakers, data reduction with/without throughput and acoustic control testing in a reverberation chamber.
