DATS Hammer Impact Analysis Software

Structural Response Measurements are an essential requirement for engineers working on noise and vibration problems. The Hammer Impact Analysis guides the user through the process of making the measurements. Single-input, multi-output measurements are supported. Transducer gain, sensitivity and triggering setup are provided by the familiar DATS signal setup.

The software gives the user full control over all aspects of the test including...

• the frequency range and resolution
• force & exponential window settings
• number of averages per measurement point
• auto reject double impacts and overloads
• use of Prosig remote keypad

A pre-test Wizard assists the user in setting up trigger levels and response window weighting factors.

An initial display of time histories and FFT spectra enables the input signal to be checked before the transfer functions are calculated. Vibration data can be displayed as Inertance, Apparent Mass, Mobility, Impedance, Receptance or Obstructance. The latest measurement is shown with the accumulating average. A reference target transfer function can also be superimposed.

The measurements can be saved in numerically sequenced datasets and the user has full control over whether just the H1 or H2 is required for each response, or whether any of the associated spectra (H2, Coherence, ASD, CSD) or the time histories are to be saved.

This package can also be used in other applications where a triggered acquisition, immediate data inspection and frequency response measurements are required.
