Vibration analyser provides multi-analysis capabilities
October 2002
Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
Osiris Technical Systems is offering IOtech's new full-featured vibration analyser, the portable ZonicBook. Available in 4, 8, or 16-channel configurations, the compact ZonicBook accepts ICP accelerometer and microphone inputs directly, and simultaneously samples all channels at 51,2 kHz with a separate Sigma Delta converter for each input channel. In addition to ICP inputs, the ZonicBook is capable of measuring standard AC and DC voltages.
Analysis capabilities include FFT analysis, integration/differentiation, averaging, octave analysis, and more, with the Windows-based eZ-Analyst software. The combination of the ZonicBook, eZ-Analyst software and a notebook computer provide a full featured, portable sound and vibration analyser. This system can acquire continuous, gap-free data into the PC's memory and hard drive while viewing the data in time or frequency-domain on the PC.
Using the optional IOtech DBK70 vehicle bus interface, the system can simultaneously acquire vehicle network parameters such as speed, RPM, engine temperature, etc, while making sound and vibration measurements directly from transducers in the vehicle. Supported vehicle networks include J1850 VPW, J1850 PWM, ISO 9141 and CAN. The device can be powered by a 12 V battery, for in-vehicle and portable sound and vibration applications, as well as from an AC wall socket, for lab applications. An optional battery/UPS option is available for over 6 hours of operation.
The ZonicBook/eZ-Analyst combination offers significant value over comparable FFT analysers. This is accomplished by using the power of the user's PC to provide all of the realtime analysis capabilities, versus having a separate CPU in the ZonicBook, as do other comparable devices.
