The data analysis software jBEAM Lab from Kistler has been updated to offer functions that enable more efficient analyses. As a result, raw data can be used to create diagrams and spectrograms regardless of the hardware.
The software can also be flexibly modified with filters and visualization functions to maximize analytical capability, interactivity and insights, and it now features functions to support NVH tests (noise, vibration and harshness).
The new version of the software combines speed with increased user-friendliness and interactivity. Diagrams, filters, calculations and much more can be configured with drag-and-drop or just a few clicks and combined to create powerful analyses without having to write a single line of code.
Jan Schnabel, jBEAM product manager at Kistler, said, “Whereas before, developers would have to write or program complicated scripts, for example in Python, they can now carry out and complete process steps with just a few clicks thanks to jBEAM – including for NVH tests.”
jBEAM Lab imports raw data from over 100 file formats, correlates it with audio and video data, and generates comprehensive visualizations. The graphical processing offers a high degree of flexibility and interactivity: the data analysis software enables users to filter and flexibly combine data to create graphics, dynamically adapt workflows and directly simulate filters. Once analysis is complete, users have the option to generate reports automatically and precisely.
New functions for NVH tests
The new jBEAM from Kistler offers enhanced NVH functions and its data analysis software can also be used to analyze micro-vibrations. The new functions for NVH tests were developed specifically for the aerospace industry, but can also be applied in many other fields. These include: spectrogram and order analysis; octave analysis; and simulation of analog filters such as Bessel, Butterworth and Chebyshev filters.
Schnabel said, “jBEAM measurement data analysis software can be used as a flexible platform to automate the entire analysis workflow. The creation of spectrograms and order analysis, which was previously a relatively complex process made up of many individual steps, can now be carried out via drag-and-drop and with just a few clicks.”
