LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit Software Overview and Feature Comparison

Overview

The LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit provides a unique software-based measurement approach to creating customized applications with an open analysis capability and flexible measurement library. NI’s sound and vibration analysis software offers a complete solution for many acoustics, electroacoustics, noise vibration harshness (NVH), and machine condition monitoring (MCM) applications. There are two editions available, Base and Full, so engineers can choose the software most relevant to their test needs.

Capabilities

The LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit simplifies analysis and measurement tasks. You can perform audio and distortion measurements, frequency analysis, frequency response measurements, and transient analysis. This add-on for LabVIEW also contains power spectrum, swept sine, and octave analysis virtual instruments (VIs).
