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.
