Seismic Qualification Testing for US Nuclear Power Generating Stations Part 1 (Random Vibration Testing) The nuclear power industry in North America (USA, Canada & Mexico) requires seismic qualification

Exhaust Vibration Measurement – Customer Requirement One of Prosig’s customers needed to perform exhaust vibration measurement on some of their vehicles. They contracted Prosig to take the measurements and provide reports

If you are visiting the Automotive Testing Expo 2014 China in Shanghai (September 15th – 17th) then please come along and see us at stand 9013.  You will able to see

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,

In this article we will look at the basic steps needed to measure noise & vibration in rotating machines. We won’t look in great detail at some of

This is the final part of our four part tutorial. This adds a report to the worksheet we developed in part 3.    

Part two of the four tutorials showing a simple setup to capture, analyze and produce a report using Prosig’s DATS software and P8000 hardware. This part deals with

The first part of a series of four tutorials showing a simple setup to capture, analyze and produce a report using Prosig’s DATS software and P8000 hardware. Part

At least one manufacturer of data acquisition systems claims to achieve an incredibly high dynamic range (160dB) when capturing data. This is supposedly achieved by the use of

Nowadays it is easy to attach extra screens to most computers. It is not uncommon to have a two or even three monitor setups. Even with laptops it

The objective of the brake noise tests was to record the braking events of cars being driven on various types of road and classify those events according to

This video was sent to us by one of our customers. It shows how a Prosig P8000 was used to measure the vibration transmitted through different configurations of

The V7.0 release of DATS, the long-established signal analysis software from Prosig, contains a comprehensive fatigue analysis package for stress-life, strain-life and weld-life prediction. Prosig also design and

The latest version of the CAN-bus/GPS (8440) module is now available for the Prosig P8012, P8020 and P8048 systems. The CAN-bus/GPS module has been in use in the

Prosig have welcomed 2010 with the official launch of their PROLOG data acquisition controller. PROLOG is a controller that will allow remote, unattended or standalone operation of a P8000 system. In

Knowing how to measure torsional vibration is of key importance in the area of vehicle development and refinement. The main contributory source is the engine where periodically occurring

Most engineers are probably familiar with or have come across the decibel or dB as a unit of measurement. Its most common use is in the field of

The size and shape of the Prosig P8000 data acquisition systems greatly facilitates installation in locations that are small or difficult to access. Now Prosig can offer a

Using Prosig’s P8000 series data acquisition system with DATS signal analysis software, torsional analysis (crank shaft jitter) was performed on an automotive engine attached to an engine dynamometer.

In this note the different types of transducers that can be used with the Prosig P8000 series data acquisition system are discussed. The article deals with the design

The following note describes measuring exhaust noise using a Prosig P8000/DATS system for the refinement of an automotive muffler design for a major after-market exhaust manufacturer in Europe. The

Accurate measurement of a signal depends on the dynamic range and the overall level of the data acquisition system. The overall level setting may be thought of as
