On the 4th & 5th October 2013 Prosig, along with India partners Mari Aerotech, attended the National Conference on Condition Monitoring in Bangalore, India. Here are some photos of the conference and exhibition. (more…)
Are you a Flipboard user? "What is Flipboard?" some of you will ask. Flipboard is an up-and-coming mobile app for pulling all of your news sources and social media together…
Picture the scenario; you have captured some noise & vibration data from a rotating machine. Typically, this might be noise in a vehicle cabin, but could have been anything from…
So you've got some noise and/or vibration data from a rotating machine, but no speed information. Surely that means you can't analyse against speed or do any order analysis, right?…
One of the most searched for and read topics on the Noise & Vibration Measurement Blog is that of converting between measurements of acceleration, velocity and displacement. To help anyone…
Our previous collection of cool engineering videos in 2010 proved so popular that we just had to make another list. So here we present another 10 really cool engineering videos.…
This is often also known as Modal Testing. It is a method of testing that allows us to calculate the natural frequencies (modes), modal masses, modal damping ratios and mode shapes…
Whether you call them spikes, glitches, anomalies or data dropouts, these phenomena have been a problem to engineers ever since they started recording data. There are any number of reasons…

As mentioned in a previous post and in our last email newsletter (signup form on the right of this page) we are pleased to announce that the preview version of the new DATS Hammer Impact software is now available for download. (more…)
For anyone curious about Prosig's DATS software & P8000 hardware running under the newly released Microsoft Windows 8 we can report that everything works as smoothly as ever. Here at…
Prosig will be at Automotive Testing Expo North America from today, October 23rd, until October 25th 2012. Among the hardware and software on display will be some of the latest developments to…
The latest version of the DATS software is now available. Log in to the Prosig support site to download your copy. The new version, V7.0.23, contains many new features, improvements and bug fixes. Read on to find out a little of what you can expect. (more…)
After listening to customer feedback, we have completely re-engineered the DATS Hammer Impact software. The new version will ship with the next DATS update (not the soon-to-be-released V7.0.23). In the meantime you will be able to download and preview the new package. You will of course need a P8000 system and a DATS licence with the Hammer Impact option enabled. (more…)
There are many reasons to measure and analyze noise. It may relate to legislation or regulations that limit noise in certain environments, we could be using the noise to investigate…
Following on from the recent post regarding of the 2012 Survey Prize Draw we have more prize giving news.
The 2nd Annual Prosig Prize for Engineering at Portsmouth University has been awarded to Ashley Stehr for his project “Developing an engineering mechanism to reduce the effects of rapid rotational motion caused by the shocks inherent with high speed craft”. (more…)
Thank you to everyone who completed our 2012 User Survey. The results were, as always, fascinating and will be used to improve our future hardware & software products. We are…
The 2nd Annual Prosig Prize for Engineering at Portsmouth University has been awarded to Ashley Stehr for his project “Developing an engineering mechanism to reduce the effects of rapid rotational motion caused by the shocks inherent with high speed craft”. Ashley is in his third year studying for an MSc in Mechanical Engineering. His project was supervised by Dr Ya Huang. Ashley’s project poster is shown below (click for a larger view).
Recently, we decided it was about time we had a new model for testing, training and demonstrations. Specifically, we wanted something that would allow us to test the full capability…
One of Prosig’s engineers was recently creating a complex worksheet application that required some complicated arithmetic to be performed on values calculated in the worksheet. Worksheet (or global) variables are ideal for this. The Variable Mods DPU also has an expression evaluator built in. Consider the following worksheet that takes a Named Element from two signals and sums them. (more…)
I’m sure many users will have been in this situation. You need an analysis function, you know it’s in DATS, but you can’t remember where. One of the major strengths of the DATS package is the depth of analysis functions it provides. Unfortunately, when you have a deadline and can’t find the function that you want that isn’t much help. But assistance is at hand… (more…)
We're going to look today at some of the practical aspects of how we measure noise & vibration and consider why it's important that you should measure and, more importantly,…
Prosig's Indian distributor, Mari Aerotech, will be exhibiting at Automotive Testing Expo India 2012. The conference runs on 6th, 7th & 8th March 2012 at Chennai Trade Centre. Automotive Testing Expo India…
Are you interested in measuring torsional vibration? Need to measure shaft twist? Worried about rotational jitter? Don't worry, we've got it covered. Here we have gathered together our most popular…
This article is the first in a series that will introduce two very important facilities that can be used when creating DATS worksheets – Named Elements and Global Variables. It is perfectly possible to perform simple measurement and analysis with DATS without knowingly using either of them. However, knowing how they work and what they can do, will lead to much more efficient and flexible worksheets. The first subject we’ll look at is Named Elements. (more…)
