Start 2024 with an Upgrade: The v2.1 Release of SignalCalc 900 Series Software

We’ve been working hard to create even more features, advancements, and enhancements − designed to improve your test and measurement performance.


Here’s a brief overview of what's new:

General Enhancements
  • Trace Color Management adds the ability to auto-assign trace colors based on channel number or type
  • Save a screenshot on test end automatically
  • Improvements to searching, and general improvements when using a shared database
  • The Data Server can be run on a different network than the 900 Hardware. This allows a centralized Data Server on a company network, and the 900 Chassis on an isolated network, with the host PC connected to both
  • Merge Databases − The ability to move all tests/runs from one Data Server to another has been added
  • REST interface has been expanded significantly to allow changing test/output level, creating new tests, getting a list of existing tests, and more
  • Automation Scripting Language allows the creation of complex automation scripts in a text editor to control SignalCalc 900 or external devices/programs
  • Math equations (Math Channels) can be applied to multiple channels simultaneously (e.g. apply the same filter to all input channels)
  • Increased responsiveness of the GUI after a test has been run for several hours/days
Analyzer Enhancements
  • An output waveform’s parameters can be changed live during a test (e.g., changing frequency or amplitude of a sine wave)
  • A Time History Recording’s channel table can be linked to the primary measurement
  • Several enhancements to Stepped Sine
  • A Time History Recording’s Stop condition can be linked to the primary measurement (e.g. Stop when the Controller stops)
  • Recordings can be imported from Matlab data files
  • Synthesized octave data can be exported through the automated export functions
Controller Enhancements
  • Ability to import DP700 Sine, Random, or Shock tests from SignalStar Scalar/Vector into SignalCalc 900
  • Ability to Limit in a Mixed Mode test (limiting on Random PSD)
  • Several improvements to SRS Synthesis and Control
  • Higher block size in Shock/SRS
  • Resonance Dwell data (e.g., dwell level over the test) can be displayed with cycles on the X-axis instead of time
  • Multiple dwells for each resonance identified in a resonance sweep can be defined in a Resonance Search and Dwell test
  • External devices can be triggered at very precise times during a Sine/Random/Shock test (e.g., trigger a high-speed camera)
  • Ability to apply a high pass filter to an imported Classical Shock pulse

...plus many more improvements!
