CATS Signal Analysis

Computer-Aided Test Suite for Noise and Vibration Analysis

The Computer-Aided Test Suite offers a wide variety of tools for data acquisition, vibration, and acoustic analysis.  

FFT Analysis

3-D Waterfall Analysis

Modal Analysis

Rotating Machinery Analysis

Nth Octave Analysis

Swept Sine Analysis

Transient Analysis (including SRS)

Statistical Analysis

CATS data acquisition and analysis products fit seamlessly into popular PC desktop applications to make report generation easy.  Network capabilities make remote test execution and monitoring possible.  You can even use ActiveX Automation to create custom data acquisition and analysis programs using LabView, MATLAB, Visual Basic, JAVA, and C++.  Data may be analyzed with available CATS tools or stored in formats for analysis by other applications, including, STARModal, STARAcoustics, I-DEAS, MATLAB, UFF, and ASCII.
