What methods for accelerometer input without using Sound & Vibration toolkit

[Larrys]

Hi,

I am wanting to perform logging of  accelerometer input using LabView Developers Suite and NI9233 module. My customer doesn't want to purchase the Sound & Vibration Toolkit. Is there another method to acquire the data?

Thanks,

You do not need sound & vibration toolkit to acquire data. you can use regular data acquisition technique for this. 

before acquiring, you need to switch on ICP. But for USB 9233 it is always ON i believe.

If you have already bought 9233, it is OK. Otherwise it is better to go with 9234.

Hi,

Sound and vibration toolkit is required only when analysis such as order tracking, octave analysis is to be carried out on the acquired vibration data.  For data acquisition SVT is not mandatory.  For USB 9233 the IEPE excitation is always ON and has selectable AC/DC coupling.

Use the DAQmx drivers for acquiring the vibration data and signal processing functions (in signal processing pallete) for any basic analysis like FFT, PSD etc.,

Post back for queries.
