Data Translation Announces Dynamic Signal Analyzer

Data Translation has revealed the DT7837 ARM-based dynamic signal analyzer for noise and vibration measurement. The device is equipped for a variety of vibration tasks and is ideal for audio, acoustic and vibration testing applications.

The DT7837 allows simultaneous measurement of four 240bit IEPE sensor inputs at a rate of 102.4 kS/s. It can be used for measurements with microphones, accelerometers and other transducers.

The device also has a 240bit stimulus output, tachometer, general-purpose digital I/O, external trigger functions and counter/timers. All of these capabilities are supported by APIs (application programming interfaces) that enable development of an embedded application.

For OEM (original equipment manufacturing) users, complete source code is available and can be modified without any restrictions. Open source libraries are also available to show how to develop specific embedded applications.

“Vibration testing has increased dramatically, driven by the strong sales of consumer products such as cell phones, tablets, performance cameras, so that every product must undergo strict vibration testing,” said Fred Molinari, president, Data Translation. “With the embedded BeagleBone Black industrialized ARM processor, real-time processing and analysis for vibration testing is greatly simplified.”
