Rotating Machinery Analysis

DSPCon’s rotating machinery analysis software contains a comprehensive set of tools for the analysis of cyclical machinery behavior. It processes CATS and DATX data files to provide a variety of single- and two-channel analyses that are functions of time or RPM. A proprietary tachometer analyzer determines the relationship between time and RPM for up to four tachometers and algorithms are provided to determine, plot and make output files that represent:

• Amplitude vs Time
• Waterfall Analysis
• Time Point Analysis (including Time History, Spectra and Probability)
• Order Analysis (narrowband analysis with constant or proportional-to-RPM bandwidth)
• Cross-Channel Analysis (including displaying the difference in amplitude for two independent spectral plots)
• Campbell Diagram
• Cepstrum Analysis

This user-friendly software application provides a comprehensive set of features specifically designed for rotating machinery requirements, making it an ideal solution for jet engine test applications
