Design Your Own System

Prosig hardware and software is designed in a modular fashion which makes it simple to design a system to meet your exact requirements

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.

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.

Rotating Machinery

The Rotating Machinery option contains a complete set of tools for analyzing the source of vibration & noise caused by cyclic forces such as those found in engines, gearboxes, turbines & wheel excitations.

Time-Frequency

Includes wavelet analysis and a number of other time-frequency algorithms including Wigner Ville, Atlas Zhao Marks and Born Jordan.

Torsional vibration is of key importance in the area of vehicle development and refinement. Find out what it is and how it can be measured.

Vibration Monitoring Phase Measurement and the Tacho Signal

Any vibration signal may be analyzed into amplitude and phase as a function of frequency. The phase represents fifty percent of the information so it is most important to measure phase for vibration monitoring.
