  A scorching September...........
 
September was a great month for m+p international UK, we took orders for another 9 controller and analysis systems, 5 of these vibration controllers were for one customer.  This just shows how the company is growing and how well our systems are received by the engineering facilities in the UK.  Of course this is something that Europe and the USA have known for some time and with our growing UK support team is now being fully recognised here.  The very fact that one large facility has ordered 5 systems is a great recommendation for how our systems perform in a comparative evaluation with other systems currently available.  For your own demonstration or evaluation system please contact me on 01252 718822 or Richard at sales.uk@mpihome.com
 
     All your Environmental test Software under one PC cover........
 
Well we've done it, we can positively claim to be the only company to develop and supply software solutions that covers such a wide range of Environmental Test requirements.  We now sell software solutions for all the following areas:
 
Vibration Control from 2 to hundreds of channels, all vibration modes, 12.8kHz and 3200 lines
Unlimited Time replication with full time data editing and user selectable filtering.
Time history signals to Random Spectra post processing software.
Data Acquisition and Online FFT analysis
Rotating Machinery analysis
Octave Analysis
Modal Analysis
Modal modification and comparison.
Temperature and Humidity chamber control with profile set up and independent monitoring.
Acoustic control of acoustic vibration chambers.
Transient capture  for drop test analysis with reference overlay.
 
If you are considering an equipment purchase in any of these areas please let us know and we would be happy to discuss our solutions for your application.  Please contact sales.uk@mpihome.com
 
    National Instruments Data Acquisition.............
 
Have you got any National Instruments 4472 data acquisition cards ?
 
Do you use Labview and spend hours writing test programmes ?
 
If the answer to either of these questions is yes then we have an alternative software solution for you .... SmartOffice.
 
SmartOffice is our modular Data acquisition and analysis software.  Utilising NI4472 cards in either PCI or PXI form we can provide online acquisition and analysis with full report generation and active graph export to Word or PowerPoint.  Our software modules include full Modal analysis using methods developed by Prof. Randall Allemang of the University of Cincinnati, Rotating Machinery analysis, Throughput to disk, Octave analysis as well as the commonly used analysis functions.
 
If you have the hardware already then that is half way to a fully developed powerful Data analysis system.  Whether you have 8 or 80 channels we can provide the system solution.
 
SmartOffice even has its own Visual basic fully inclusive user programming language, so whatever your data you can continue to develop special routines that would be beyond any normal system.
 
SmartOffice can even provide you with the most powerful set of Post-processing tools you have ever encountered.  Importing data from over 20 different systems of most manufacturer makes with the facility to develop new import routines for any other data type. 
 
Of course we can offer the same with other hardware types too, Agilent VXI 1432 or 1433 cards, TEAC GX1 tape recorders are just a selection.
 
If you would like to see a demonstration of SmartOffice or to discuss how it can work in your application please email me at sales.uk@mpihome.com or sales.uk@mpihome.com
 
 
   Seminar on MODAL Analysis and Test Simulation...........
 
 PLACES ARE BEING BOOKED ALREADY........ DON'T DELAY, BOOK YOUR PLACE NOW
 
m+p international are holding a one day seminar on January 22, 2003, the two main topics of this seminar are Signal acquisition & Modal analysis and Laboratory Test Simulation.  It is being held at Loughborough University's new Wolfson School facility and will include a buffet lunch and refreshments.
 
The seminar will move from the basic techniques and theories through practical demonstrations and discussion about suggested test approaches for both MODAL analysis and Simulation.
 
We have engineers and academics from the UK, Belgium and Germany ready to provide an informative and interactive day's presentations.
 
Aimed at engineers who are involved in either one or both of these fields at any level or at those who have a new requirement to move into one of these areas.
 
The cost of the day will be £95 and this includes lunch, refreshments and full course notes. Payment with booking!!
 
An ideal opportunity to access a wealth of knowledge from those who know the maths and others who have years of practical test experience and indeed those who know both !!
 
The places for this seminar are limited, please book now to ensure you do not miss out on a unique opportunity.  For more details or to book your place please contact Neill Ovenden on 01252 718822 or visit www.mpiuk.co.uk/seminar
 
   Dates for your diary
 
EIS - 14/15th Oct
The annual EIS "Simulation, Test & Measurement Conference" is being held this year at the Jaguar Cars visitor centre (just off the J5/M6) in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham on the 14th and 15th of October. To register for the conference contact Catherine Pinder on 0114 262 1155 or visit www.e-i-s.org.uk for more info.
 
The free exhibition brings together a wide range of specialist data acquisition, test and analysis companies so it's well worth a visit. We hope to see you there.
 
SEE - 16th Oct
NPL in Teddington is hosting the SEE seminar "The use and calibration of shock and vibration accelerometers" on Wednesday 16th September. This should be an informative day, contact see@owles.demon.co.uk for a place.
 
SEES - 16th Oct
The Swedish Environmental Engineering Society annual meeting is on October 16th in Stockholm. There are a number of papers being presented including "Integration of Modal Testing and FEM analysis" by our very own Maurice Mergeay. See http://www.vibab.se/sees/index.html for contact details.
 
A little later on is the EIS "Achievements in Noise and Vibration" conference at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Coventry. This is on Thursday 7th of November. Same contact details as above.
 
and the annual "Vibration-day" held by SVIB (The Scandinavian Vibration Society) is on November 27-28 in Göteborg.
