This file contains information about LabVIEW support for the NI Sound and Vibration Toolkit 2010 and the NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 2010. This file also provides you with help resources you can use while working with the software. Refer to the National Instruments Web site for a comparison between the Sound and Vibration Toolkit and the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite.

Redistributing Executable Sound and Vibration Applications
The Sound and Vibration Toolkit 2010 includes the following new features in LabVIEW:
Use the DAQmx AI Config XControl on your application front panel to provide interactive configuration for DAQmx analog input channels. The control provides support for quick configuration and compact display of multiple analog input channels and the configuration for measurement type, sensor sensitivity, input range, coupling, IEPE, location, and orientation as well as timing and tachometer configuration.
Use these advanced, performance-optimized VIs in embedded monitoring applications or other applications that require maximum throughput and minimum memory footprint.
Use the Machine Characteristics VIs to calculate the common frequencies of interest for critical machine elements such as bearings, pulleys, gears, AC and DC motors, and pumps and fans.
Use the UFF58 ASCII VIs to write time waveforms, frequency spectra, and real and imaginary components of frequency response to UFF58 files in ASCII format. The saved functions in these ASCII files can be read by the VIs in the UFF58b subpalette, DIAdem with the UFF58 plugin, or by external software applications.
Use this advanced example to interactively configure your hammer and accelerometer(s) channels, continuously acquire and trigger on impacts, accumulate results, perform averaged frequency response measurements, and archive frequency responses to a UFF 58 file. The example uses a button-driven graphical user interface (GUI) to navigate through the steps of completing an impact test. Use the application example as is, or customize it to fit specific application requirements. Open this example by navigating to the examples\Sound and vibration\Application Examples directory.
Replaced the Extended Measurements palette under the Order Analysis palette with the Spectrum Extended Measurements palette. Also added the Spectrum Extended Measurements palette to the Frequency Analysis and Embedded Monitoring palettes. Also added the following VIs to the Spectrum Extended Measurements palette: SVFA Convert Frequency (CPM to CPS), SVFA Convert Frequency (CPS to CPM), and SVFA Convert Spectrum (Frequency to Order).
To run the Sound and Vibration Toolkit or the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite, your computer must meet the following minimum system requirements:
Note: The Sound and Vibration Toolkit 2010 and the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 2010 do not support Windows NT/Me/2000/98/95 or the Windows Server non-R2 editions.
You must be logged in with administrator privileges to install the Sound and Vibration Toolkit or the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite. Note the following consideration when installing these products:
You can install all of your LabVIEW products—including the Sound and Vibration Toolkit or the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite—using the LabVIEW 2010 Platform DVDs. You can find installation instructions for the Sound and Vibration Toolkit or the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite along with activation instructions in the following locations:
To request additional LabVIEW 2010 Platform DVDs, refer to the National Instruments Web site.
Note: If you purchased this product with an NI Software Suite or NI Product Bundle, use the installation media that shipped with your purchase to install this product.
Complete the following steps to install the Sound and Vibration Toolkit or the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite on Windows 7/Vista/XP/Server 2008 (64-bit)/Server 2003 (32-bit):
If you want to redistribute executables built with the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite or any of its components, you must purchase the appropriate NI Sound and Vibration Software Run-Time License. The part number for the NI Sound and Vibration Software Run-Time License is 779875-01. Contact National Instruments to purchase the NI Sound and Vibration Software Run-Time License.
Refer to the LabVIEW Help, accessible by selecting Help»LabVIEW Help in LabVIEW, for information about the Sound and Vibration VIs.
You can find LabVIEW examples for the Sound and Vibration VIs in the labview\examples\Sound and Vibration directory.
You also can find LabVIEW examples for the Sound and Vibration VIs using the NI Example Finder. Select Help»Find Examples to launch the NI Example Finder. On the Browse page, the Sound and Vibration example VIs are located in the Toolkits and Modules»Sound and Vibration folder.
You can access the software and documentation known issues list online. Refer to the National Instruments Web site for an up-to-date list of known issues in the Sound and Vibration Toolkit or the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite.
The following items are the IDs and titles of a subset of issues fixed between the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 2009 and 2010. If you have a Bug ID, you can search this list to validate that the issue has been fixed. This is not an exhaustive list of issues fixed in the current version of the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite.
| Bug ID | Fixed Issue |
|---|---|
| 175627 | Shaft Centerline Plot xControl updates direction arrow. |
| 176806 | Always returns full amplitude regardless of comparison result. |
| 181418 | Added UFF58 ASCII palette to write ASCII from LabVIEW datatypes and convert from binary to ASCII. |
