Simcenter SCADAS

The front end of test data sets the ceiling on insight

Simcenter SCADAS is a modular data acquisition hardware platform, from a handful of portable channels to thousand-channel rig systems, synchronising vibration, noise, strain, temperature and bus signals.

Overview

No analysis software can rescue a bad acquisition chain. SCADAS competes on inter-channel synchronisation and noise immunity. In modal analysis, if channels are out of phase, every identified parameter is wrong; in a vehicle or on a test rig, the signal-to-noise ratio decides whether the data is usable at all.

It is modular, so chassis and cards are configured per project and scale from bench work to full vehicle road testing. The same hardware runs different Testlab application modules, keeping asset utilisation high.

Key capabilities

Modular architecture

Configure chassis and cards as needed, scaling from portable to thousand-channel systems.

High-precision synchronisation

Tight inter-channel phase alignment suitable for modal and transfer path analysis.

Noise immunity

Isolation and ruggedisation for industrial and in-vehicle electromagnetic environments.

Multiple signal types

Vibration, acoustic, strain, temperature, tacho and CAN acquired together.

Portable and in-vehicle

Rugged portable design for road tests, field work and harsh conditions.

Integrated with software

Works seamlessly with Testlab — acquire and analyse without intermediate conversion.

What it delivers

Precise channel synchronisation makes modal and TPA results trustworthy
Strong noise immunity means weak signals are still measured accurately
Modular configuration avoids over-buying
One hardware set covers bench, vehicle and field scenarios
Hardware-software integration cuts setup and troubleshooting time
