Sound and Vibration Analysis Software

Overview

National Instruments sound and vibration software provides a complete

software solution for all audio, noise and vibration, and machine

condition monitoring applications. Based on an open-analysis

capability and a flexible measurement library, the NI Sound and

Vibration Measurement Suite and NI Sound and Vibration Toolkit

present a unique software-based measurement approach to creating

logging acoustic and vibration measurements for all audio, noise and

vibration, and machine condition monitoring applications. Rapid data

acquisition hardware configuration and an interactive, drag-and-drop

analysis library make it easy to quickly develop an application.

The LabVIEW Analysis VIs provide additional LabVIEW functions for

power spectra, frequency response functions (FRFs), fractional-octave

analysis, sound level measurements, order spectra, order maps, order

extraction, sensor calibration, human vibration filters, and torsional

vibration. The Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite also offers more

than 50 ready-to-run examples to simplify the process of getting started

Sound and Vibration Assistant

The Sound and Vibration Assistant is an interactive stand-alone

software environment for quickly acquiring, analyzing, presenting, and

logging acoustic and vibration measurements. It makes audio testing;

noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing; and machine condition

monitoring simple by offering:

• A drag-and-drop interactive environment

monitoring applications

• Operator mode available for

deploying Sound and Vibration

Assistant applications

• Built-in data streaming and playback

for postprocessing

• Extended functionality through

NI LabVIEW

• New order analysis plots for displaying

vibration sensor information

• Swept sine

• Human vibration filters

• Torsional vibration

• Sound quality
