Revolutionizing Vibration Testing PUMA (Cougar for portability) utilizes Spectral Dynamics’ innovative Computer-Aided Test Suite™ (CATS) architecture. Both take full advantage of the PC’s powerful Intel processor and Windows XP technology. Optimized for multi-tasking, and founded on industry connectivity and data interchange protocols, the CATS make your entire test and validation process more timely and efficient. Versatile Test Capabilities The Computer-Aided Test Suite™ vibration control and analysis applications were designed to meet a wide range of test requirements. With scalable hardware and software the Vibration Control and Analysis System combines the simplicity of operation required for production screening with the power and versatility required for R&D prototype testing. User Friendly The CATS graphical user interface provides a userfriendly operation from setup to report preparation. Customize the interface so that it’s easy to use for new and expert users. Protect against unauthorized use by setting security levels, allowing changes to the setup or test, with each user having their own security permissions. CATS software provides flexibility for display and analysis of data and allows seamless report generation in the Microsoft Windows XP environment. Superior Control and Analysis PUMA will meet the most stringent test requirements. PUMA incorporates high quality data acquisition and signal generation hardware designed with the latest floating point DSP technology with patented digital vibration control methods. ADAPTIVE CONTROL permits PUMA to “see the future” and adjust the control speed in real time to the next measure of error that is about to happen. This ‘look ahead’ feature allows the PUMA to control problems lesser systems don’t even understand. Networking and Test Automation PUMA offers a wide range of options to integrate with thermal chambers and other test instrumentation. PUMA’s unique client/server architecture provides unparalleled capability to automate test functions within the test laboratory. PUMA can monitor and control testing from across a local area network or the Internet. The ActiveX Automation toolkit allows users to customize their vibration control and data acquisition using Visual Basic, C++, JAVA or National Instruments LabView™. Built By the Experts Spectral Dynamics patented the FFT analyzer in 1968, and the digital vibration control system in 1969. Over the next eight generations of systems, SD perfected and patented industry-leading vibration system technologies. Now PUMA revolutionizes test methodology from setup to report and delivery. • 4 to 32 input channels with ICP • Powerful Multiple DSP architecture • Comprehensive vibration test capabilities Signal, Transient and Modal Analysis Rotating Machinery Analysis Random Control Sine Control Classical Shock Control SRS Synthesis and Control Sine on Random Control Random on Random Control Rotating Machinery Analysis Road Simulation • Analysis to 40 kHz with 12,800 lines • Extensive laboratory integration and test automation features • Scalable h/w and s/w architecture Puma & Cougar Systems
