In some flight test situations it is desirable to install shakers on board the test article to induce vibrations during flight. The additional control systems for these shakers add weight and complexity to the test configuration. This paper describes one such application, focusing on an innovative solution that combines the controller for the shakers with a data acquisition unit, providing a complete solution in a confined space. An architecture for the combined controller and acquisition unit is described. The solution used for the application is discussed.
