Data Translation announces sound and vibration system

April 16, 2015

Long known as a measurement module producer, Data Translation has expanded its vibration module expertise to a standard 64-channel system. VIBbox is a fully complete portable system with 64 IEPE input channels, eight stimulus D/A channels, four tachometer channels, and a plethora of digital I/O, counter/timer, and measure-counter channels.

Being a parallel measurement system, VIBbox features simultaneous measurement from all channels. IEPE inputs from sensors such as microphones and accelerometers that have a large dynamic range can be connected directly and executed at a very fast throughput of 105.4 kHz. Common applications include audio, acoustic, and vibration testing.

According to Fed Molinari, president, “High accuracy, fast throughput, parallel operation, and portability make VIBbox a key measurement tool for industrial energy, transportation, and commercial testing facilities. Whether used in the field or in-house, VIBbox can be set up quickly and easily.”

VIBbox operates using the ready-to-measure QuickDAQ application with the Advanced FFT Analysis Option as a standard. The easy-to-use QuickDAQ application acquires data, analyzes the data, records the data to disk, and displays and plots the results.

VIBbox is available at $24,995 U.S. List. VIBbox will begin shipping in four weeks.
