The Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) vibration testing package provides controls to meet a target Required Response Spectrum (RRS). Waveforms are automatically synthesized from a user specified SRS reference profile using sine wavelets. The Transient Control option allows control of imported transient files. Users can apply high frequency waveforms and alarm and abort tolerances to any active channel to provide an extra degree of safety for delicate test articles.
Waveform Synthesis Methods: control time waveform is generated from damped sine or sine beat components
Damped Sine Parameters: frequency, amplitude, critical damping factor, delay
Sine Beat Parameters: frequency, amplitude, number of half sine delays
Component Generation: auto or manually controlled
Synthesis Parameters: waveform duration, max % of error, max number of iterations
Unique Features in Shock Response Spectrum & Control
Vibration Visualization: The EDM Vibration Visualization feature is available in EDM VCS software all test types, including MIMO VCS. This option provides fast and efficient structural model generation and full 3D visualization of the online vibration pattern on the structure under test.
Multiple instances of EDM VCS can run simultaneously on the same computer. Each instance connects a Spider system to run the vibration controller software. All instances must run different tests. This feature provides a central place to control multiple Spider systems and perform vibration tests separately.
Black Box Mode: Operating Without a PC
A supported front-end can operate in Black Box mode which allows it to perform a test without a connected PC.
