NI CompactDAQ and NI LabVIEW for Structural Validation and Testing of Generator Sets

NI CompactDAQ and NI LabVIEW for Structural Validation and Testing of Generator Sets Building a reliable system to test Generator Set vibration levels after production to verify that the units were designed and assembled properly. “The ?exibility and quality of the NI CompactDAQ platform combined with the productivity of LabVIEW system design software allowed us to build a custom and high-performance test system in a short amount of time, saving us and our customer substantial costs. ” – Mark Yeager, Integrated Test & Measurement (itm), LLC The Solution For our solution, we developed and installed a system that would acquire, analyze and report the vibration levels recorded at 20 locations around the Generator Set structure. We used a National Instruments (NI) CompactDAQ Ethernet chassis (
