When measuring vibration and strain levels in LabVIEW, you work with a lot of waveform data. Usually this waveform data needs to be resampled or quickly analyzed so it can be stored in databases and displayed as meaningful trends. I put together the snippet below, so I could…
Quickly Identify Significant Events in Large Data Sets with Statistical Analysis Use statistical analysis for TestView Plus and Automated Analytics to extract statistics like minimum, maximum, and mean from each sensor. The results of the selectable analysis is embedded within the data file as searchable meta data. Automated…
Our LabVIEW programmers are often asked to build user interfaces to interact with and sort configuration settings, data sets, file metadata, and databases.
Simplify Acceleration Conversions with iTestSystem’s Integration Analysis Tool Like many features in iTestSystem, the Integration Analysis tool was created because customers requested it. After all, who doesn’t like features that make the math easier? In this blog, a new series by ITM, we’ll share some details about Integration…
For engineers, the faster one can weed out the noise, the more efficiently one can deliver actual solutions. The software architects at Integrated Test & Measurement have added new plugin technology to iTestSystem, their proprietary engineering measurement software platform, to enhance the user experience by allowing users to…
Automotive and off-highway engineers and designers often need to log vehicle bus data along with vibration, strain gauge, and other sensor data during normal operation to evaluate their design. Using data from all these sources enables these engineers and designers to pinpoint a vehicle’s response to staged or…
When streaming high speed data over a long period of time it is important to estimate data file size to avoid filling up your drive and also to prevent producing large, unwieldy data files. I usually try to keep file sizes less than one (1) gigabyte (FAT 32…
Precision testing generates precision data. Acquiring, accessing, and analyzing these data files allows engineers and scientists to lower product costs, engineer time-saving solutions, and even save lives. National Instruments (NI) created the Technical Data Management Streaming (TDMS) file format for high performance data streaming and retrieval. This binary…
Our iTestSystem customers who routinely acquire data with high channel counts and data from full-bridge transducers recently requested that we update the sensor auto-zero utility to improve test setup efficiency. In the latest version of iTestSystem, we updated the sensor auto-zero utility to include all channels that use…
This week we added another module to the iTestSystem compatibility list. One of our iTestSystem users recently needed to collect data from thirty-two (32), 4 to 20 mA current sensors along with their vibration measurements. National Instruments (NI) recently introduced a new C-Series current module, the NI-9253, that…
While iTestSystem is designed to collect data from specific sensor types like strain, voltage, current, and accel; custom signal types such as pressure, displacement, and force can also be configured by utilizing the Custom Scale functionality during the channel creation process. For example, manufacturers often need to measure…
The NI-9202 Voltage Input Module can now be used with the latest version of iTestSystem (16.1). The NI-9202 has excellent flexibility to meet the needs of your applications. The module has 16 simultaneous sampled, +-10 V, 24-bit differential input channels for creating large, distributed systems in a rugged…
