Panther Random on Random Control delivers precision and performance in multi-environment vibration testing. Built on Spectral Dynamics' heritage as the inventor of closed-loop digital vibration control, Panther combines advanced adaptive algorithms, comprehensive safety, and intuitive operation to provide trusted results, every time. The Random on Random application enables simultaneous control of multiple independent random vibration sources, providing accurate broadband spectral control for the most demanding test environments. Building upon Spectral Dynamics' legacy of precision and innovation, Random on Random provides the flexibility to replicate multiple environments—such as combined road, acoustic, or powertrain excitations—within a single test. When quality of data is important, Panther sets the standard.

Key Capabilities
Random on Random testing involves generating several superimposed Gaussian random signals, each with its own control loop, filter, and bandwidth. Panther's powerful digital signal processing allows independent control and continuous real-time PSD monitoring across all bands, ensuring the combined output matches user-defined targets precisely. Using proprietary multiple filters optimized for complex waveform generation and adaptive control, Panther ensures each random component is accurately controlled simultaneously with fast, stable, and repeatable results under full closed-loop control.
Real-time feedback continuously adjusts all signal components to maintain accuracy under nonlinear or time-varying test conditions. Gap-free streaming ensures all data is recorded for post-test analysis with full traceability, while Panther's hardware-synchronized acquisition provides phase coherence better than one degree between all channels up to 100 kHz.

Ease of Use & Flexibility
Panther's Random on Random application simplifies even the most complex multi-environment test setups. Through the Library feature, users can instantly access saved setups, data, and reports without navigating complex file paths. The graphical interface allows quick definition of multi-random setups, comparison of data between test runs, and easy retrieval of previous configurations. The interface supports touch-screen operation and customizable layouts for both production and R&D environments. Easily and quickly compare data from different channels and different test runs. Panther's modern, touch-friendly interface makes operation fast and intuitive, for engineers at all experience levels.
