PSV-400-3D Software Features

 

 

3-D Alignment

  • The laser beams are matched to 4 to 7 known points of the object geometry
  • Using the parameters of the previous step, the system calculates the sensor head positions related to the coordinate system of the test object.

Scan grid definition

Two methods available:

  • Manual, interactive definition in the live video image by the Advanced Point Selection (APS) Professional utility
  • Data import from CAD- and FEM-systems via Universal File Format (UFF)

Sensor control

Simultaneous control of all three sensor scanning units

Controller operation

Parallel operation of all three Vibrometer Controllers with identical parameters

Data acquisition
  • Simultaneous data acquisition from up to 8 channels (3 vibrometer signals, 5 reference signal)
  • Digital filtering and averaging 
  • Trigger options: external, analog, pre- and post trigger

Data quality

Continuous assessment of the S/N ratio in order to improve data quality by Signal Enhancement (increased number of samples used for averaging) and Speckle Tracking

Target data
  • Vibration components in Cartesian coordinates related to the test objects’ coordinate system
  • Raw vibration signal from each respective vibrometer
  • Velocity (measured), displacement (calculated) and acceleration (calculated) can be displayed
  • Digital filtering and averaging available
  • Data are saved as frequency spectra or time signal (optional)
  • Calculation of the transfer functions between primary signal and reference signal

Data representation
  • Perspective view of the test sample’s 3-D geometry: zero position of the object represented by a wire frame; sample motion represented by a colored 3-D surface model of all three vibration vectors simultaneously
  • Representation of the vibration data as deflection from zero position and color code, provides a three-dimensional impression of the vibration)
  • 2-D or 3-D representation of each vibration component (x, y, z)
  • Display of single spectra or time signals

Data export
  • Windows Automation Interface: Polytec FileAccess (enables data access utilizing Visual Basic or C++)
  • Export of geometry data, spectra, time signals and deflection shapes as UFF and ASCII files (optional)
  • Export of animated 2D- and 3D-models and profiles  as an AVI file

Data import

Import of geometry data from UFF or ASCII files

Signal generator

4-channel internal signal generator providing various excitation signals according to current PSV software
