A CASE STUDY of Marquette Universityâs Engineering Hall Monitoring System
Watch ITM’s Ryan Welker on stage at NIWeek 2017 Day2 Keynote as he describes the advantages of using the new NI Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology. The TSN technology he describes is embedded in the new CompactDAQ chassis (cDAQ-9185 and cDAQ-9189), which are compatible with ITM’s iTestSystem software. iTestSystem enables users to integrate these new devices into intelligent edge solutions. Visit iTestSystem.com for more information about iTestSystem and Industrial IOT.
Come visit us at Booth 809C in the Tools Network Pavilion to learn more about iTestSystem, ITM’s structural data acquisition and analysis software. Ryan Welker, Mark Yeager, and Chase Petzinger will be demonstrating iTestSystem’s current and new capabilities.

iTestSystem is ITM’s structural data acquisition and analysis software. We are starting an online iTestSystem Webinar Series. The goal for this series of webinars is to introduce iTestSystem’s capabilities to new users and refresh experienced users’ application fluency.
Come join us online for the inaugural iTestSystem Webinar: General Overview and Applications. In this webinar Chase Petzinger and Mark Yeager will introduce the iTestSystem Software platform’s capabilities and discuss the types of applications where it can be applied.

We are pleased to announce that the NI-9217 resistance temperature detector (RTD) analog input module can now be used with iTestSystem and NI CompactDAQ. The NI-9217 features 4 analog inputs, 24-bit resolution, and an aggregate sampling rate of 5 S/s (1.25 S/s per channel) in high accuracy mode. The high accuracy mode has built in 50/60 Hz noise rejection and less than a 1 °C accuracy error over its entire operating temperature range.
Tip: Since the NI-9217 is the first CompactDAQ RTD module on the compatibility list, a new RTD channel type was added to iTestSystem. Right click on Channels in the project tree and select Create New > RTD.

Quickly view your test data in iTestSystem’s TestView+ application by selecting your graph type and adding channels using the quick drag and drop feature. Zoom in to take a closer look or select a new tab to create a new graph.
We are excited to announce that the NI-9205 general purpose analog input module can now be used with iTestSystem and NI CompactDAQ. Adding this module allows engineers to expand the use of iTestSystem from structural testing and analysis where signal phase relationship is important, into data logging where phase isn’t as high a priority. The NI-9205 features 32 single-ended or 16 differential analog inputs, 16-bit resolution, and a maximum sampling rate of 250 kS/s.
Our customers really wanted this module added and I can see why. If the NI-9205 module is combined with iTestSystem’s free feature set, they could build a flexible and cost effective data logger. With the extended feature set of iTestSystem, they could also build a standalone logger, with triggering and CAN support.

MILFORD, OHâ Integrated Test & Measurement (ITM) announces a âSmart Buildingâ program in partnership with Marquette University. This unique initiative allows next generation structural engineers to perform large-scale experiments and obtain real-time results using data collected on the very building in which they are learning. ITM was selected to provide the technology and services for the program.
Powerful Software â Powerful Results
The system is powered by ITMâs configurable iTestSystem software platform. The software allows users to organize, acquire and view important engineering data using National Instruments (NI) hardware. Using iTestSystem, a building monitoring system was created to collect data from a weather station together with more than 120 strain gauge sensors installed along beams, braces and columns inside the Engineering Hall at Marquette University.
The system not only measures wind speed on the five story structure; it can actually âfeelâ the wind load during gusts and record its impact on the facility. Data is broadcast in real time to anyone plugged into the servers through their mobile device. Observing the data allows students to understand how a buildingâs systems âshare lateral loadâ during wind events. In addition, instruments along support beams in the Engineering Materials and Structural Testing lab allow students to analyze moving loads as the crane moves around the bay. At the same time floor sensors measure the impact of people moving through the building. This information will impact future building design and potential building code modifications.
