Engineering Data Management (EDM) is a PC-based software program designed for real-time data management and processing. This easy-to-use, Windows-native software manages the communication between the PC and all Crystal Instruments hardware platforms. EDM Modal is a complete Modal Testing and Modal Analysis suite for Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA). EDM Modal was developed based upon the sophisticated technologies of modern modal analysis theory and technique. With its intuitive controls and powerful features, EDM Modal is the ultimate tool for modal analysis applications. An intuitive interface allows users to manage highly complicated tests that can involve hundreds of measurement points and multiple excitations. This interface also allows for simple tests to be conducted quickly and with little effort. Regardless of how complicated the modal test is, EDM Modal provides the exact and precise tools required to achieve your goal. To successfully acquire testing data, it is essential to properly book-keep the Degree of Freedoms (DOFs) of the test structure. The Geometry Editor handles all types of structure modeling and supports all types of coordinate systems. Using the concept of ‘components’, parts of a complicated structure can be built simply and then integrated into the geometric model. Inside the Input Channel Setup window, the measurement points and their corresponding directions can be defined. Once the test is started, the measurements will proceed through all the test points, as defined by the Degree of Freedom (DOF) information for each measurement point.
