LMS Test.Lab Mobile Testing - Introduction
Powering mobile productivity
Ever-shorter development cycles and higher quality requirements put growing pressure on field testing teams. The increasing number and complexity of test campaigns forces them to continuously push their productivity limits. Field engineers have to collect as much data as possible and perform complex tests, often under difficult operating conditions.
LMS Test.Lab Mobile is designed for high field testing productivity. It combines a complete set of noise and vibration acquisition and analysis applications with a workflow-based interface that is fully tuned for in-vehicle use. It enables testing teams to accelerate the complete test cycle, from test preparation up to final reporting. LMS Test.Lab offers comprehensive on-line analysis tools to verify data quality on the spot and diagnose problems while measuring. Using LMS Test.Lab, you can run complex testing scenarios outdoor and benefit from the convenience and productivity of a system that is fully tuned for mobile testing.
LMS Test.Lab Mobile seamlessly integrates with the LMS SCADAS Mobile system, one of the most powerful, compact and lightweight data acquisition front-ends of its class. The LMS SCADAS Mobile packs versatile data acquisition and signal conditioning capabilities into a fully rugged and ultra-portable front-end package. The system can host up to 40 channels in stand-alone mode, extendable up to 256 channels, and offers maximum power autonomy and flexible sensor connectivity. Through its innovative cooling system, the SCADAS Mobile system can operate under extreme temperatures and provides absolute silence for acoustic measurements.
Efficient test preparation. From single tests to a complete test campaign
LMS Test.Lab Mobile makes it easy to define the sequence and characteristics of a new test, or even the rollout of a complete test campaign. Next to defining the channel allocation and measurement execution, you can choose to monitor acquisition and analysis results in real time, and select the graphics and data content for reporting purposes. LMS Test.Lab Mobile offers the flexibility to prepare templates for repetitive test scenarios and dedicated troubleshooting assignments up front.
Ultra-convenient user-interface. Workflow-based and fully tuned for mobile use
To suit the specific needs of outdoor testing, LMS Test.Lab Mobile provides single-operator support, including a remote control, flexible short-key support and enhanced userinterface readability. At a single glance, you are updated about the progress of the test and the validity of the data being acquired, providing the confidence that the test is proceeding as planned. The user-interface can be easily tuned to include dedicated displays, which show key parameter values in large fonts or analysis curves you want to monitor during the test. In addition, any graph displayed on the screen can be printed on the spot using integrated active picture capabilities. - Optimum readability - variable font size and operator-centric interface
- Clear indication of test progress and status information
- User-definable displays for on-line data verification
- Remote control and short-key support for convenient in-vehicle operation
Full measurement flexibility. Fit for data collection, benchmarking and troubleshooting
To efficiently process each mobile testing assignment, you can quickly tab-flip between various measurement process steps, enabling you to optimize input ranges, define key acquisition parameters, monitor acquisition progress, or overview the entire test campaign. At the same time, LMS Test. Lab Mobile offers relentless data processing power, allowing you to analyze results during the actual test or at any later convenient time. Moreover, it is possible to integrate valuable CAN-bus data or GPS information into your data sets.
- Flexibly manage the measurement process flow, including the acquisition and data processing approaches
- Process data on-line to instantly retrieve results, or at any later convenient time
- Extensive acquisition approaches for stationary and transient operating conditions
- Support of static channels, CAN-bus and GPS, digital head and a wide variety of sensors
Instant data validation. Never leave the field without the data you need
LMS Test.Lab enable you to quickly and securely validate test results and gain full confidence in the acquired data during the actual measurement. With Test.Lab, you can efficiently guarantee that all the required data sets are captured during the limited time test vehicles are available. During measurement, the software also enables you to detect acquisition problems, monitor the evolution of analysis results and to instantly verify whether specific targets are being matched. LMS Test.Lab Mobile provides flexible tools to evaluate the tested vehicle and to trace the root cause of noise and vibration problems on the spot.
- Listen to your data and immediately - filter out event-specific details
- Efficiently benchmark on-line analysis - results against reference curves
- Spot instrumentation errors and gain engineering insight through integrated Operational Deflection Shape (ODS) capabilities
- Average and compare data to quickly evaluate and benchmark system behavior
Power and flexibility for field and lab testingg
LMS Test.Lab, the leading software for noise and vibration testing, is seamlessly integrated with the state-of-the-art platform of LMS SCADAS Mobile data acquisition frontends. The laptop-size SCM05 unit is a modular front-end with 5 slots hosting up to 40 channels, while the ultraportable SCM01 system features 4 to 8 input channels. Both front-ends bundle impressive performance, modern acquisition technology and dedicated hardware designed to operate under extreme operating conditions.
Scalable system configurations
The LMS SCADAS Mobile SCM05 system is a compact, modular front-end that accommodates 4 up to 40 channels, and up to 256 in master/slave setup. Its rugged design, compact size, low weight and high autonomy make it the ideal solution for mobile testing applications. Or do you prefer an ultra-portable front-end with fewer channels?
Up to 102,4 kHz sampling rate per channel 105 dB signal to noise ratio 2.2 Msamples/s throughput rate High-speed Ethernet connection Runs more than 4 hours on internal battery Qualified for rough and hightemperature operating conditions
