Acoustic Control
Acoustic Control provides accurate control for high-level noise testing of reverberant chambers or progressive wave tubes. Based on the Spider hardware platform, Acoustic Control achieves quick and reliable control of the noise level to the reference octave spectrum and the overall sound pressure level (OASPL). Included safety features guarantee the safety of the unit under test.

Automated Production Testing
Automated production testing is critical in today’s competitive manufacturing environment. Companies can no longer rely on variable costs, non-uniformity, and potential health hazards that come with a laborer-based manufacturing line. This is no less true for sound and vibration tests, ranging from in-process burn-in tests to product validation and verification tests. The measurement tools and intelligence behind present day manufacturing include data acquisition equipment as well as closed-loop control. And while these systems may not take part in the assembly of any goods, they are just as important to ensure quality control for both components coming into an assembly line and products going out.

Chamber Controller Software
EDC (Embedded Device Control) is specifically designed software for Sentek chamber system controllers running Temperature and Humidity environmental tests. The EDC software features an intuitive interface, a powerful data review function and live data viewing. The combined EDM controller software provides one central location to set up parameters and a schedule between all three environments, with or without a connected controller. The powerful import and export features allow users to easily transfer test configurations between computers.

Combined System Controller Software
Designed and manufactured by Crystal Instruments, the Spider-101i controller is a key element of the Sentek Dynamics THV Series AGREE (Department of Defense Advisor Group on Reliability of Electronic Equipment) chambers. These chambers provide combined temperature, humidity, and vibration testing in addition to environmental and reliability testing for a wide variety of aerospace, automotive, medical, commercial, and independent test lab applications. Temperature, humidity, and vibration are controlled with high accuracy and are synchronized to simulate the actual physical environment products experience in the field.

Correlation Analysis
EDM Modal Correlation Analysis allows the user to correlate two modal models; EMA and/or FEA models. Comparing the experimental data with that acquired through finite element analysis helps in validating the test results. Users can import the geometry model and mode shape data from FEA or EMA software. A modal mapping procedure is executed to match the EMA and FEA models. After this matching procedure, the new mode shape information from FEA is interpolated and the FEA modal parameters are displayed alongside with EMA results. Finally, to observe the correlation between the results from the two methods, a Cross-MAC matrix is calculated and shown.

Dynamic Signal Analyzer & Data Recorder
Spider-20
The Spider-20 series of products are compact yet powerful data acquisition and dynamic measurement systems. These units provide four 24-bit precise high-fidelity input channels, and a unique software-selectable tachometer-input/signal-source output channel. Each input is individually programmable to accept AC or DC voltage or output from an IEPE (ICP) sensor with built-in electronics. Input channels can be programmed to sample up to a rate of 256 kHz. The Spider-20E is a small scale (5 ⁵/16 x 4 ⁵/16 x 1 ⁵/16 inch) device weighing only 18 ounces. This handheld unit features three push-button controls and five LED status indicators. This little powerhouse can run over 6 hours on its internal rechargeable battery which can be replaced in the field with a backup battery.

Engineering Data Management SOoftware
EDM Modal
Engineering Data Management (EDM) is a PC-based software program designed for real-time data management and processing. This easy-to-use, Windows-native software manages the communication between the PC and all Crystal Instruments hardware platforms. EDM Modal is a complete Modal Testing and Modal Analysis suite for Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA). EDM Modal was developed based upon the sophisticated technologies of modern modal analysis theory and technique. With its intuitive controls and powerful features, EDM Modal is the ultimate tool for modal analysis applications. An intuitive interface allows users to manage highly complicated tests that can involve hundreds of measurement points and multiple excitations. This interface also allows for simple tests to be conducted quickly and with little effort. Regardless of how complicated the modal test is, EDM Modal provides the exact and precise tools required to achieve your goal.
