Description
DATS-Acquisition is the data capture software for Prosig DATS hardware. It lets you set up, calibrate, capture, view and store your measurements, then pass them straight to DATS-core for analysis and reporting. Choose the package that suits your testing, from simple, portable capture to full-featured multi-channel acquisition.
Three packages to choose from
- DATS-Acquisition: the full package, for demanding multi-channel testing. It includes multi-channel transducer calibration, a transducer database, advanced triggering, calculated channels, real-time filtering and trending, data logging, an acquisition scheduler and the complete range of real-time displays.
- DATS-Acquisition Lite: straightforward capture with absolute level triggering and live time series, frequency spectrum and GPS map displays, for all DATS hardware.
- DATS-solo Capture: simple, portable capture for the DATS-solo, with single-channel transducer calibration and a digital panel display.
Set up with confidence
Calibrate transducers one channel at a time or across many channels at once, store their details in the transducer database, and run automatic checks on channel autozero, excitation and sensitivity before you start. Automatic input range selection helps you get the best from every channel.
Capture exactly what you need
Trigger captures on absolute level, start and stop levels, gradient or RPM, with pre and post-trigger data, or trigger on peak or energy levels within multiple frequency bands. Use low and high-speed data logging modes for longer tests, and the acquisition scheduler to run captures automatically.
See your results as you test
DATS-Acquisition offers a huge range of real-time displays, including time series traces, snapshots and trends, frequency spectra, Nth octave, RMS meters, sound intensity, cross spectra, orbit plots, order tracking with phase, speed curves, transfer functions, waterfalls, intensity and Campbell plots, statistics grids and multi-histograms. You can also listen to signals with real-time audio playback, track warning and alarm order levels, and display mimic diagrams of your test setup.
Review and replay
Review captured data straight away with ASD, time history, third octave and speed displays, replay recorded files and extract events, and record information about each capture event for your records.
