VibDaq is a range of low cost and professional vibration monitoring systems from Cal-Bay Systems. Each system can be expanded from 1 to 52 channels.

Applications include: Shaft rotation characterization, rotating machinery testing, bearing analysis, structural testing etc.

There are two vibDaq systems available:

Compact:
Designed for portable vibration measurements. The hardware connects to the PC via USB, making this system ideal for use with a laptop computer. Inputs are available for proximity sensors, acclerometers (IEPE compatible) and tachometers. The tachometer input can be used to measure phase and angular displacement.

Professional:
Designed for larger number of channels and installed applications. The hardware is based on the PXI form factor which although still compact allows the system to be customized for applications where control of test rigs or motors is required.

The software provides easy control over the set up parameters, acquisition settings and data logging functions. Real time data plots are available during operation. These plots include:

FFT
Waterfall
Polar
Bode
Orbit
Shaft Centreline

Post analysis is also included, where the saved data can be displayed and analyzed. All plots can be copied as a jpeg file and inserted into any report generator such as Microsoft Word, thus enabling high quality reports to be generated.

The software is identical for both the compact and professional systems. visit www.vibDaq.com for further details and to download the offline plot viewer demonstation
