Browse the complete list of functions and VIs available with NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite to learn more about how you can use this software to meet your application needs. VIs, or virtual instruments, are high-level functions in the LabVIEW environment.
The NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite Version 7.0 is the most comprehensive collection of NI analysis and signal processing tools for noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH); machine condition monitoring; and audio test applications. It includes the NI Sound and Vibration Assistant, which is stand-alone, interactive software for quickly acquiring, analyzing, and logging acoustic, noise, and vibration data. With a configuration-based, flexible measurement library and open-analysis capability, the Sound and Vibration Assistant is designed for quick data capture through a unique software-based measurement approach to create customized applications.
The Sound and Vibration Assistant offers the ability to continually interact with live data, varying analysis settings on the fly while logging data to disk for more analysis later. For example, you can vary the weighting and bandwidth of an octave spectrum while recording sound level data or adjust the window applied to a power spectrum while trending overall vibration readings. With Universal File Format (UFF58) file I/O support, you can acquire data from 24-bit NI dynamic signal acquisition (DSA) devices, including USB DSAs, and share it easily between other commonly used sound and vibration analysis applications including modal analysis software.
This latest version extends analysis functionality with NI LabVIEW VIs for performing psychoacoustic measurements. With these new sound quality algorithms, you can give quantitative values for sound measurements such as loudness and sharpness. The LabVIEW VIs also contain octave analysis, frequency analysis, and order tracking for automotive, military/aerospace, and mechanical/structural designs. Further shortening the time to first measurement in LabVIEW, Express VIs for power spectra, frequency response, ANSI and IEC fractional-octave analysis, distortion measurement, order spectra, and spectral map processing are also included. You can quickly and efficiently begin applications with more than 50 ready-to-run LabVIEW example code bases provided in the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite.

You also can purchase the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite through NI Developer Suite, a modular product offering with which you can select software components based on your application needs. With an NI Developer Suite subscription, you receive a new set of CDs featuring the most recent software version for each product in the suite four times a year as well as direct access to technical support from NI applications engineers via phone and e-mail.
