Networked vibration testing and analysis

摘要

This article outlines an innovative approach using standard network technologies to streamline testing and data acquisition, distribute signal processing and analysis, and enhance the creation and distribution of test results. The TCP/IP-based data server architecture and industry standard inter-process communication protocols, ActiveX and Component Object Model are explained. This architecture allows remote control of testing using standard Ethernet networks. The data server also allows live data analysis on Microsoft Windows-based computers across the local area network or the Internet. Data sharing on the network allows independent data processing on the remote computer and maximizes processing performance.
