The Dytran model 5340 is a unique and innovative solution for fast and cost effective data acquisition. The VibraScout™ Vibration Measurement System consists of a USB triaxial DC response accelerometer, 15-foot 4-pin to USB cable assembly, VibraScout™ Data Acquisition Software, and VibraScout™ Windows compatible Post Processor software on CD (no license required). In addition to the vibration measurement system, the only required hardware is a personal computer and USB port.
Offered with a 16g or 200g range, the variable capacitance (VC) accelerometer combines an integrated VC chip in a hermetically sealed, titanium housing weighing 17 grams, and is offered with a low-end frequency response down to DC (0 Hz) and an upper frequency range of 1,100 Hz. Units are rugged to 10,000g shock and operate from +3.8 to +6.0 VDC power.
Easy to install software allows for real time, three-directional vibration data acquisition (including static inclination) along with real-time temperature monitoring. The system will store acceleration and temperature information, display real-time scrolling plots of acceleration data in Min, Max and Mean, log real-time data to a delimited file for importing into Excel, has auto and smart triggering modes and digital filters to improve signal/noise ratio, performs real-time compression to Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and has many other features, including:
- Apply post-processing analysis to record data from VibraScout™ sensor
- Test Log to display RMS, Max, Min, and pk-pk plots for overall recorded data
- "Scope Preview" feature for data playback
- Single and double integration for velocity and displacement calculation
- User defined filters for each individual channel
- FFT and octave analysis
- Multi-channel overlays
- One click export of all plots and text files to data file directory
