While iTestSystem is designed to collect data from specific sensor types like strain, voltage, current, and accel; custom signal types such as pressure, displacement, and force can also be configured by utilizing the Custom Scale functionality during the channel creation process. For example, manufacturers often need to measure…
As engineering consultants, it’s the nature of our business for our work to take us out on the open road. It is for this reason that we are proud to support several state Departments of Transportation (DOT) with their structural testing and data acquisition needs. We travel the…
When making strain measurements it is important to perform a shunt calibration both before and after the actual measurements are acquired. Shunt calibrations ensure accurate strain measurements by adjusting the sensitivity or gain of the data acquisition equipment to compensate for leadwire resistance and other scaling errors. iTestSystem…
As the global market moves steadily in the direction of increased productivity through integration of software into the world of testing services, Integrated Test & Measurement finds itself at the forefront of the field. Our other LabVIEW developers and I have been hard at work creating custom applications…
The NI-9202 Voltage Input Module can now be used with the latest version of iTestSystem (16.1). The NI-9202 has excellent flexibility to meet the needs of your applications. The module has 16 simultaneous sampled, +-10 V, 24-bit differential input channels for creating large, distributed systems in a rugged…
Over the past few weeks we have been updating our Joint Time Frequency Analysis (JTFA) tool for iTestSystem. In general, the JTFA tool is used to show how the frequency content of a signal changes over time. This tool is particularly useful for analyzing and visualizing vibration and…
The tool we most commonly use for real-time embedded process monitoring and control applications is the NI CompactRIO. These controllers allow us to embed algorithms that acquire and analyze high-speed process sensor data and then output derived key performance indicators (KPIs) to other control systems. Most of the…
The latest video in the ITM Live Demo series shows users how to configure an Ethernet/Network cDAQ or FieldDAQ chassis with NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI Max). One of the most common questions we get from iTestSystem users; How do I configure my network/ethernet cDAQ or FieldDAQ…
The NI-9242 single ended voltage input module can now be used with the latest version of iTestSystem (16.1). The NI-9242 C-Series module features three (3) voltage inputs plus one (1) neutral input, 24-bit resolution, 250V rms L-N, 400V rms L-L, and 50 kS/s/ch. The measurement range (250V rms…
In the latest release of iTestSystem (v 16.1), we are adding the NI-9246 current input module to the compatibility list. The NI-9246 features 3, 22 Arms continuous current inputs, 24-bit resolution, and 50 kS/s/ch in the C Series form factor. The measurement range (22 Arms) makes it ideal…
The latest video in the ITM Live Demo series shows the new sound level measurement capability of iTestSystem. In recent months, our customers have asked us to integrate sound level measurements into iTestSystem. With this new feature, iTestSystem can help you monitor construction site noise or measure whether…
As a part the ITM Live Demo series, we’re excited to release this video featuring iTestSystem and National Instruments FieldDAQ™ hardware to assist with your data collection projects. At ITM, we’re always on the lookout for tools that will help us take tough measurements. When we heard that…
