the direct way
Integrated Software for Acoustic and Vibration Test, Analysis and Documentation
All steps of your daily work are done elegantly with this comfortable tool.
- Measure your subject of interest
- Handle the list of all your records
- Listen to and cut your recordings if needed
- Analyze with one or many of the long list of available functions
- Design your documents
- Print out or send your reports
You can very precisely adjust what you want to analyze and how it should be displayed and reported. The handling on every step is intuitive and simple.
After having made the first measurement and analysis you need only one mouseclick to do the second.
The whole range from standardized tests to very specific analysis is covered by this surface. It includes all the possibilities of signal analysis in an easy accessible way.
This unique combination of simple use and open configuration gives you real productivity improvement in testing applications.
Data acquisition
1) Set the channel properties. The current measuring range and level are shown in the units of the sensor.
2) Determine the recording length and set the trigger. You can trigger at level and r.p.m. values.
3) Select whether you want to save the time data of the recording or the results of a real-time calculation such as third-octave spectra or level. Check the corresponding parameter settings if necessary.
4) Your recording is chronologically entered in the list of measurements. Here you see an overview of all measurements and make selections for processing and averaging.
Real-time analysis
1) Configure the real-time display. Divide up the page in the best way for your presentation.
2) Select the desired function in each display field, e.g. time data, level or third-octave spectra.
3) Set the parameters for the calculations.
4) During the recording, the selected analyses appear in real time.
Data import
This is how you transfer recordings that have already been made with another software into si++Workbench:
1) Create a new measurement with: File -> Add Files.
2) Assign your files to the functions in Workbench (e.g. airborne sound, structure-borne sound, rpm pulses).
3) Your data sets are automatically added to the list of measurements. If your data is not available in format but in another format (e.g. wav), an automatic conversion can be activated. The data is then processed directly.
Analysis
1) Select one or more data sets in the list of measurements. The last data set that was added is automatically selected.
2) Configure the analysis page. Divide up the page in the best way for your presentations. Several result pages can be set up if necessary.
3) Select the analysis directly in each display field, e.g. level and orders runup.
4) Set the parameters for the calculations. The relevant parameters can be accessed directly for each function.
5) Start the analysis for a recording (or for several data sets in the case of averaging). This can also be done automatically after a new recording.
Printing
1) To print, you go from the analysis to the documentation page. On this page, your results are immediately displayed with a suitable layout as a print preview, i.e. your print-out will look exactly the same as the presentation on this page.
2) If necessary, you can change the presentation with the layout editor. You can save your changes as a new layout.
3) You now print out your documentation. It is also possible to start the printing directly from the analysis page without going to the documentation page.
- si++Workbench contains the new documentation module si.doc2.
- In si.doc2, you can integrate further information together with your plots in predesigned layouts, or you can define your own layouts.
- In Windows® you can also export your graphics via the Windows® clip-board to other applications, such as Word®.
