VTI Instruments - APEX Turbine Data System (DS)
The APEX Turbine Data System (DS) is the next generation of data acquisition, control, setup, and online analysis. It reliably acquires time-synchronized data from a network of digitizers, regardless of sample rate or sensor type.
Setup & Control
- Very high reliability – Unit Under Test doesn’t wait for data system
- Can use same software with different hardware
- Operators only need to learn one interface
- Pick whatever hardware is best for the test
- Completely open architecture
- Data format non-proprietary, public
- Seamless integration of dynamic data and Static Data Acquitsition System data
- Used extensively by most major OEM’s
Online Data Analysis
- Complete online, real time engineering analysis of data saves time and money
- Improve Unit Under Test safety
- Eliminate useless testing
- Accelerate offline analysis
- Use multiple monitoring stations/engineers to distribute analysis workload
- Sophisticated use of frequency domain limits provides advanced online analysis capability
- FREE Data Viewer
