Description
DATS-core is the analysis package at the heart of Prosig DATS software. It gives you the tools to process, analyse, visualise and report noise and vibration data, whether it's captured on Prosig hardware or imported from other systems. Developed by Prosig's signal processing experts for nearly 50 years, it's a reliable, tested and proven toolbox for engineers and scientists.
Analysis functions included
- Frequency analysis: Fourier spectrum, hopping Fourier spectrum, auto and power spectral density, RMS spectrum, transfer functions (H1 to H4, Hs, Hv, Hc and Hr) and causal and normal transmissibility
- Vibration analysis: band pass, low pass, high pass and band stop filters, conversion between acceleration, velocity and displacement, peak particle velocity and spectrum level
- Acoustic analysis: third octave and Nth octave spectra, with A, B, C and D weighting
- Arithmetic and calculus: signal and constant arithmetic, differentiation and integration
- Time domain analysis: normalising, thresholds, ensemble averaging and statistics
- Tacho and pulse analysis: tacho to speed curve
- Signal generation: sine, damped sine, linear sweep, random, white noise, narrow band, square, pulse, swept square, triangle, saw tooth, exponential decay, lines and ramps
- Signal manipulation: copy, insert, overwrite, join, concatenate, mesh, reverse and negate
Automate with the DATS Worksheet
The DATS Worksheet is a drag-and-drop environment that links capture, import and export, analysis and graphs together. Build your own analysis routines and test procedures without programming, then run them again whenever you need to. For more advanced users, the built-in BASIC scripting language lets you automate processing and build complete applications.
Visualise your results
Display results in a huge range of graph styles, from 2D lines and symbols to 3D views and intensity plots, so you can see what's really happening in your data.
Report and share
The built-in Intaglio Report Generator uses Microsoft Word to create high-quality reports, so you can share results with colleagues and customers.
Work with data from other systems
DATS-core imports and exports data in a wide range of formats, so it fits easily into your existing workflow:
- Import: CSV, ASCII delimited text, MATLAB V5, SDF (Agilent), LMS SDF, TDM, Universal File Format (Type 58 and 58b), LMS UFF transfer function data and WAV
- Export: CSV, ASCII delimited text, Excel, MATLAB V5, SDF (Agilent), TDM and Universal File Format (Type 58 and 58b)
Extend DATS-core
Add specialist analysis with DATS add-ons for NVH, rotating machinery, hammer impact testing, modal analysis and more, and capture data with DATS-solo, DATS-tetrad or DATS-hyper12 hardware. Explore the full range of DATS software, or contact our team for advice.
