The following tutorial shows in detail how to use Prosig DATS to export data in a non-linear format.
DATS stores all data in linear format. When you export data you are exporting the raw stored data. Therefore, to export data in a non-linear fashion we must convert the data to non-linear scale (dB for our example) and then export to the desired format, in this case CSV. (more…)
Using a Prosig P8000 system with a 8424 DAC (digital-to-analogue) card fitted, it is possible to generate signals of any type. Typically, these might be sinewaves, chirps, random, bursts, sweeps…
A simple question should have a simple answer and that answer is “No”.
As usual, however, life is never that simple. (more…)
The Prosig P8000 Auto-Zero function is a powerful tool and it is well worth spending some time understanding it. (more…)
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…
Prosig data acquisition systems use differential inputs, but what are they and why are they so special? This subject is not always fully understood and, therefore, the focus of this…
In many real-world applications it is impossible to avoid “spikes” or “dropouts” in data that we record. Many people assume that these only cause problems with their data if they become obvious. This is not always the case. Consider the following two time histories.
