Cable Testing Applications
Cable Testing Applications Cable/Wire Testing Overview Cable testing is important in any industry that relies on cables for its operation. Cable testing is important for compliance and regulations because it helps ensure that cables meet the necessary requirements and standards set by regulatory bodies or industry organizations. These requirements are in place to promote safety, reliability, and performance, and failure to comply can result in legal consequences or penalties. Cable testing is important in various industries, including: Telecommunications: Cable testing is essential in the telecommunications industry to ensure that cables are properly installed and [...]

Exploring the Different Types of Aircraft Vibrations
There are two main types of aircraft vibrations: normal and abnormal. Normal vibrations regularly occur when an airplane is in flight and during takeoff and landing. These oscillating or reciprocating motions do not indicate potential defects with the aircraft or its engines and can be explained by routine operations such as flying through turbulence or extending or retracting the landing gear. With abnormal vibrations, a mechanical defect or condition is to blame. If this is not corrected, further damage and even catastrophic failure may occur. What are the causes of aircraft vibrations? The causes of aircraft vibrations include: engine [...]
How Often Should Vibration Analysis Be Performed?
How Often Should Vibration Analysis Be Performed? Once a customer takes delivery of a PBS system and learns how to use it, the next logical question is: “How often should we use it?” At a minimum, your approved maintenance program (whether it’s a program developed by your operation, or the maintenance procedures outlined by the engine/airframe manufacturer) will tell you about the intervals at which to perform a vibration analysis. Usually, there is a procedure to specify how an engine vibration analysis and balance need be only completed when squawked by a pilot or after the completion of maintenance work [...]

Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization
Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization Customer Case This customer's application is Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization. Their ultrasonic sensors transmit 16 signals. The customer's requirement is to capture 512 points on the 16 channels, average them together, and then store the data in a buffer, with the system running continuously. They would like to be able to update the average buffer and recapture data as fast as possible. They would then like to log the data to disk or process the data and display an image on the screen. Since the signals coming in from their ultrasonic sensors are very weak, the customer [...]
