## What is VR Mobile?

VR Mobile connects to any Vibration Research hardware device for live vibration test monitoring via an iPhone or iPad. It also contains engineering calculators, a light strobe, a noise SPL meter, and an accelerometer--all from your mobile device!

FEATURES:

Connect to the ObserVR1000 dynamic signal analyzer and data acquisition (DAQ) device
- Set up inputs and record & monitor data
- Live FFT Analysis
- Use your mobile device's camera to record video in sync with your ObserVR1000 and/or GoPro® camera(s)

Remotely control vibration tests running in the VibrationVIEW software
- Start/stop tests
- View graphs
- Adjust amplitude and frequency

VR Library
- Complete courses, take quizzes and earn certificates on VR University
- Browse articles, case studies, engineering tools, research papers, and more
- Watch video tips and tech talks
- Gain access to VR product manuals

Max acceleration calculator
- Calculate the maximum acceleration a shaker can output based on system mass

Unit converter
- Convert acceleration, force, mass, velocity, displacement, and more

Sine calculator
- Calculate acceleration, frequency, velocity, and displacement based on sinusoidal motion

Shock calculator
- Select the impact type (plastic or elastic) and the pulse type, and the shock calculator will calculate the remaining two values given two inputs: acceleration, impact time, velocity change, and height change

Noise meter
- Measure the minimum, current, and maximum decibels (dB) from your mobile device's microphone

Accelerometer
- Measure the minimum, current, and maximum acceleration in each of your mobile device's accelerometer axes
- Zero-out acceleration to calibrate for an uneven surface

Strobe light
- Strobe your device's screen and/or flash LED from 1 to 30 Hz; strobing helps display objects vibrating too fast for the eye to see

### 5/5 — Helpful free tool!

*2023-05-03*

Handy application for sizing shakers and connecting data acquisition devices - ObserVR1000. Super helpful when collecting data.

### 4/5 — Good for free

*2016-04-16*

In the "flash" mode the strobe is accurate (but not so much when flashing the screen). The frequency adjustment requires you to stop and restart the strobe, so that's awkward.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2014-10-20*

Great tool.  I wish the accelerometer went out another decimal.  Also, the light strobe makes the whole app crash iPhone 6 with 8.0.2

### 5/5 — Helpful and Fun

*2014-09-11*

Helped me diagnose which motor on my quadcopter had bad bearing. 
The accelerometer and DB Noise Meter can be an accelerant at a party or concert. Great App for mechanical people.

### 5/5 — Niche Beauty

*2014-09-11*

A pocket tool to use as a quick, handheld-ish, reality checker for small set-ups and small object repetitive motion.

It makes me want to try the strobe of everything.

The accelerometer makes me want to hold my phone and punch things.  Just 'cause.

Good pocket engineering tool, teaching tool, and toy.

### 4/5 — Shakermgr

*2012-06-28*

Works well but needs a random vibe calculator for figuring max disp., velocity, and overall grms when PSD is put in.

### 5/5 — Killer App

*2011-12-16*

Must-have app for vibration testing professionals!

### 5/5 — Useful calculator

*2011-10-16*

Useful for sizing shakers!
