Establishing a time record of data is a critical requirement of vibration testing. Whether the application is ground vibration monitoring of railway activity or laboratory testing of a missile fixture, time recording can reveal important data. Times of peak activity, the overall vibration level at various times, the damping ratio, or other useful information is uncovered from acquired time data. Acquired vibration data might need synchronization with other data types. Crystal Instruments offers a variety of solutions to fulfill any time data acquisition need. Time data acquisition requires users to understand the constraints and specifications of an application to select the correct data acquisition platform. Explore Crystal Instruments’ solutions to four key questions below. 1. What hardware do I choose? For any application, choosing a data acquisition platform that is compatible with the application environment is crucial. Crystal Instruments has a variety of hardware platforms to meet the demands of any environment and to satisfy the balance of application constraints vs. required features. 2. What will I measure and how will I measure it? The Spider and CoCo units can interface with several different sensor types, measure a wide variety of measurement quantities, and accommodate many different input modes.
