SO Analyzer: The new generation of SmartOffice

A new generation of our successful SmartOffice family, SO Analyzer now has embedded Real-Time analysis with parallel processing to give you on-line analysis with 10 times faster real-time FFT analysis, throughput recording, octave analysis, order tracking and spectrum mapping all available together on-line.

Its powerful post processor also provides quick and easy post test analysis without having to re-run the test.

SmartOffice is m+p international's solution for noise and vibration measurement, analysis and reporting. It is scalable and offers modules for FFT, modal, rotate and octave analyses. For user flexibility, the decision regarding acquisition hardware was kept open to allow interfaces with National Instruments, VXI Technology, Bustec and Teac.
Within one application, SmartOffice allows you to import data from more than 20 different standard N&V formats, do real-time data acquisition, analyse results and create reports – in the field, in the lab and in the office. More...

Time Domain Recording for Vibration and Acoustic Control

More and more customers and analysts alike are requesting both the original time data and processed data. m+p international’s vibration control systems such as the VCP_PC, VibPilot, VibRunner and VibExec now support Time Domain Recording while running any vibration or acoustic control mode. Also known as digital through-put, the original gap-free time history data can be very valuable for post-test analysis and historical archiving reasons. Now with the simple addition of a PCI plug-in card and m+p’s SmartOffice Through-Put Wizard, software module up to eight, sixteen, twenty-four, thirty-two channels and beyond can be recorded to disk at rates to 102.4 kHz sampling without compromising control. SmartOffice’s Advanced Data Reduction Wizards for Random, Sine and Shock allow overlap processing, blocksizes over 32,768, different windowing and averaging techniques for Random; overall level, harmonic analysis and COLA spline fit for high accuracy Sine analysis and in Shock up to 1/24^th Octave analysis, primary, residual, positive and negative SRS, signal pre-conditioning and automated processing with multiple damping estimates. Data can be analyzed locally or if the control system is tied up, on a remote PC.

If something fails you’ll never miss having the snapshot of data you need...

Similar to m+p’s Vibco software the SmartOffice Through-Put and Advanced Data Reduction Wizards run in Microsoft Windows NT/2000 or XP environment with an intelligent wizard providing safe, simple and efficient user guidance. An e-Reporter offers many convenient reporting features, for instance, you can copy and paste all obtained graphical results into ActiveX compliant applications such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint for richer and more comprehensive reports. SmartOffice is scalable and supports modules for Modal and Advanced Modal Analysis, Acoustic Analysis, Rotating Machinery Analysis along with an Advanced Post Processing Wizard. Repetitive tasks can be automated using a Visual Basic-compatible programming language. The software package also includes a step-by-step approach to create a geometry model of the unit under test for operating deflection shape analysis.

SmartOffice supports National Instruments PCI-4472 and PXI-4472 8-channel dynamic signal acquisition devices. The input channels of these models simultaneously digitize input signals over a bandwidth from DC to 45 kHz. Other features of the NI 4472: 24-bit resolution, 120 dB dynamic range, 102.4 kS/s maximum sampling rate, 45 kHz alias-free bandwidth, ± 10 V input signal range, AC/DC coupling, ICP® conditioning - software configurable.

ACON Canister Preconditioning Update

Our ACON system for automated vehicle canister preconditioning is used by the automotive industry, test facilities and the manufacturers of carbon canisters. The vehicle canisters will be automatically preconditioned, i.e. purged and loaded, to prepare them for the subsequent HC emission measurements (SHED tests) according to CARB/EPA.

The latest version of ACON offers you some powerful enhancements. The ACON components are now mounted on boards which are fixed on telescopic rails and can be pulled out to the front of the rack, enabling a very easy access to the components. More...

VXI Technology Acquires Agilent Technologies' Mechanical Data Acquisition Products

Agilent Technologies, our partner for high-quality VXIbus-based data acquisition systems for many years, and VXI Technology announced an agreement for VXI Technology to acquire Agilent’s mechanical data acquisition product segment within its test and measurement business. Agilent, spun off from Hewlett Packard Company in 1999, said it is divesting this product segment as part of an overall effort to redefine its strategic focus.

VXI Technology, headquartered in Irvine, California, is a global supplier of modular VXIbus test systems. The company possesses excellent ressources for the development, sale and support of sophisticated signal analysis solutions. Many Agilent employees will be employed by VXI Technology assuring the product expertise and long history in this market will continue.

VXI Techology will not only be responible for the sale of the acquired Agilent products, but will present interesting new noise and vibration products in the immediate future. m+p international plans to continue support of these products.

You, our customers, who work with m+p international products based on Agilent VXIbus hardware, can expect innovative and powerful system solutions. Of course, all Agilent products will be fully supported by m+p international and our new partner VXI Technology – from sales to support and service. There will be no changes in the quality you have come to expect from m+p international and Agilent Technologies.

We look forward to new leading edge VXIbus products and our cooperation with VXI Technology!
