VibSoft

VibSoft, the leading data acquisition software for laser vibrometers, has released its latest version 4.80. Developed by Polytec GmbH, this innovative software caters to the Science Tools subcategory within the Education program category. Users will find the VibSoft.exe file ready to enhance their data acquisition needs as it runs smoothly on Windows 7. For those maintaining legacy systems, version 4.7 is also available.

One standout feature of VibSoft is that it allows for the control of all vibrometer settings via RS-232 interface, ensuring settings are stored with the data files for seamless test-stand installations and comprehensive test series. The software boasts integrated signal enhancement which elevates laser vibrometer performance. Optional features include a live video feed of the test object and laser beam position—ideal for easy measurement point definition and thorough documentation.

VibSoft isn't just about measurement. It comes with an integrated function generator, including user-defined excitation waveforms enabling tight control and synchronization. The program acquires both time and FFT response signatures for any arbitrary drive voltage. Further, it averages the input signal in the time domain while offering differentiation and integration in both time and frequency domains. Advanced users will appreciate the capability to calculate FFT with up to 12,800 lines of resolution, alongside optional zoom FFT and extended FFT resolution up to a staggering 819,200 lines.

Once you download the VibSoft software, you can enjoy many of its features for free. However, some advanced tools and features may require additional investment.
