Mechanical Data Handling
The Mechanical Data Handling (MDH) facilities provide data acquisition, data reduction and data presentation for vibration, micro-vibration, acoustic and shock testing.
The acquisition system can handle various analogue inputs and consists of four mobile/modular 128 channel racks interconnected to the test article via mobile patch panels.
Thanks to these mobile patch panels the instrumentation lines stay connected to the test article when moving from one facility to the other and the patch panels can be easily reconnected to the acquisition racks.
In addition to the data acquisition system ETS can also provide accelerometers.
The main parameters of the Mechanical Data Handling are listed below:
