System Packages

The Brake Noise Measurement System and Brake Rotor Runout System are complete turnkey systems designed to identify common issues with braking systems such as squeal, creep groan and so on

Brake Noise Measurement System

An invaluable tool in measuring brake noise on a vehicle

Prosig have worked closely with some of the leading brake specialists to develop the Brake Noise Measurement System. The system consists of a Prosig P8020 data acquisition unit equipped with analog inputs for microphones and accelerometers. It also has inputs for CAN-bus and has integrated GPS tracking capaility. An 8-channel thermocouple input module is also included to accurately record brake temperatures.

Includes...

  • P8020 12-channel data acquisition system
  • 8-channel thermocouple input
  • CAN-bus input
  • DATS Toolbox software
  • 5 x Microphones
  • 4 x Uniaxial accelerometers
  • 1 x Microphone calibrator
  • All leads, cables & accelerometer wax

Brake Rotor Runout System

Measurement of runout and DVT is crucial to a variety of braking issues

The Brake Disc Runout & DTV System provides an accurate, easy and repeatable method of measuring the disc thickness variation (DTV) and runout of brake disks. Tests can be carried out both on the vehicle or on a test rig.

Includes...

  • P8012 12-channel data acquisition system
  • 2 x tachometer inputs
  • DATS Toolbox software
  • 6 x displacement probes


Design Your Own System

Prosig hardware and software is ideal for measuring brake noise and vibration. The products below can be combined to build your ideal solution.

Hardware

P8004:Ultra portable

The Prosig P8004 is an ultra portable, high quality, 24-bit data acquisition system. It is compact, rugged and has 4 analog inputs plus a dedicated tacho input. An ideal starter system.

P8012: Portable

The Prosig P8012 can hold up to 3 cards giving up to 24 analog input channels. The chassis is rugged and portable making it ideal for mobile applications of all kinds.

P8020: Portable

The Prosig P8020 has the same rugged, portable chassis as the others systems and is ideal for mobile or laboratory use where a higher channel count is needed.

High Channel Count

The P8048 consists of a 12 card chassis that can be packaged for rack mounting or in a portable case. Systems can be connected to give up to 1024 synchronised channels.

Prolog Controller

Prolog is a controller that can replace your laptop or PC to allow remote, unattended or standalone operation of a P8000 system. The system may include one or more P8000 chassis.

CAN/GPS Card

The 8440 card supports simple monitoring and PID mode. The card supports two independent inputs for dual system capture. A GPS option allows position, velocity & time to be recorded.

Tacho Card

The 8420 is intended as a solution for situations with rotating machines where positional information and time relative to position information are required.


Software

DATS Toolkit

DATS is a comprehensive package of data acquisition and signal processing tools. DATS software has proved itself time and time again in diverse and demanding applications around the world.

NVH Analysis Suite

Includes extensive tacho analysis is used to analyze rotational speed, waterfall and order analysis, waterfall averaging, 1/nth octave analysis and sound quality metrics.

Audio Replay

Allows the user to listen to and analyze audio data. Shows time histories, orders, SQ metrics with simultaneous audio output. Order and frequency filters provide powerful 'what if' scenarios.

Psychoacoustics

The DATS Psychoacoustics Analysis Suite provides a host of functions for the objective description of subjective sounds.
