Adding the BK Connect Calculation option to BK Connect Data Processing Type 8403 or BK Connect Data Processing Specialist Type 8404 adds advanced calculation options, while performing fast Fourier transformation (FFT) and overall level analysis. The calculation elements for the process chain are function statistics function operators scaling with unit conversion frequency weighting complex
Type 8405-C (Replaces Types 8706 And 7771) BK Connect CPB
This BK Connect application performs 1/n-octave - or constant percentage bandwidth (CPB) - analysis. Data can be acquired from just one and up to hundreds of channels connected via data acquisition hardware to a PC, which records the signals. This software analyses the time data as it is replayed. It can
Type 8405-B (Replaces Type 7773) BK Connect Advanced Frequency Option
This BK Connect option adds time correlation, amplitude demodulation – or envelope analysis – and infinite impulse response (IIR) filter to BK Connect Data Processing Type 8403 or BK Connect Data Processing Specialist Type 8404 for analysis of the vibration produced by a machine. The purpose is to find changes in the vibration pattern or
Type 8404 (Replaces Types 7700, 7770 And 8702) BK Connect Data Processing Specialist
BK Connect Data Processing Specialist Type 8404 enables specialists to create process chains and analyze data immediately or save those chains as templates. Test engineers and operators (using the Type 8403 license) can quickly and easily make live measurements or load recorded data for post-processing using the pre-defined process chains. Specialists can
Type 8403 BK Connect Data Processing
BK Connect Data Processing Type 8403 focuses on the operator’s and test engineer’s role, knowing that their use of the data acquisition and analysis software differs from the sound and vibration (S&V) specialist. Operators require the ability to quickly and easily load recorded data for post-processing or perform real-time analysis using
Type 7767 Pulse Data Manager
This software enables any measurements made using PULSE™LabShop to be labelled with metadata and saved to a database. This safe and orderly data storage gives access to the data across an organization – and even spanning the world.
