SignalCalc Turbo is a set of modern diagnostic tools dedicated to vibration measurements for rotary machines. The has an ability of measuring relative vibrations by using proximity sensors mounted close to the rotating shaft. SignalCalc Turbo can be used to measuring installations such as turbines, generators, pumps, fans, electric motors and any other devices where vibration measurements related to the machine’s rotational motion are necessary.
The SignalCalc Turbo software is available for the following Data Physics vibration analyzers:

  • SignalCalc ACE – ultra portable analyzer based on hardware platform: Quattro – powered by USB port of the PC equipped with from 2 to 4 inputs, 1 tachometer input (trigger), up to 2 programmable outputs, range of the analysis up to 40 kHz or 97 kHz (H version),
  • SignalCalc MOBILYZER – portable analyzer based on hardware platform: ABACUS – build-in PC with his own HDD/SDD drive, from 4 to 32 input channels, from 1 to 8 tachometric inputs, uo to 8 output channels, range of the analysis 49 kHz (standard version) and 97 kHz (optional).

The software has plenty patterns which are prepared for displaying measurements in graphic version of the typical data’s which are used for measurements used for diagnosis of the rotating machines. As an example:

  • Time graphs with tachometer triggering tag,
  • Trend plot with longer time period,
  • Polar plots – which showing changes of the amplitudes and phases ot the vibrations – useful during speeding-up the shaft  to the working speed and braking and for assesment in steady conditions,
  • Bode plots – used during measurements of the shaft speed which is speeding-up,
  • Shaft centerline plots,
  • Cascade / Waterfall plots,
  • Spectral graphs in graphical and tabular form.

SignalCalc Turbo software can cooperate with throughtput to disk module. It allows to record all data during the measurement and re-analyze it. This option is especially useful when is wanted to analyze quick changes, for example when the machine is on the run. The data recorded in the time domain can then be repeatedly reproduced and re-analyzed under laboratory conditions.
