Designed for high-quality dynamic data acquisition, PAK capture ensures instant, sustainable and traceable results for your applications when measuring noise and vibration. PAK capture utilizes the innovative PAK live technology, consisting of embedded smart and intelligent services on measurement devices, such as the PAK MKII, the MicroQ and the DecaQ. Various applications in mobile testing and troubleshooting can be performed with phase-synchronous, calibrated recordings on the frontend. PAK capture's on-the-go user interface provides live controls for sensor or device settings and allows the users to continuously monitor sensor signals. Synchronize your sensor catalog via the PAK cloud and benefit from an even more advanced measurement configuration. Be in touch with your data instantly. Easily configure your measurements on-site, quickly change settings, monitor signal quality, and swiftly browse your recorded data. The system automatically provides the necessary quality parameters and summarizes information for an efficient overview. Once your acquisition is complete, simply download your recorded data and your engineering partners can easily proceed, as the data is based on ASAM ODS NVH. Key features at a glance: * On-site test configuration and calibration * Automated sensor matching * Real-time level display showing the status of signals and sensor connections * Online time history and FFT * Configurable ring buffer * Decoding, online display and storage of CANbus data (CAN, CAN FD, WWH-OBD, Multiplex) * PAK live trigger service for event or condition related recording * Synchronized start and stop of local storage measurements on multiple devices * GPS synchronization service for multiple frontends * Overview of recorded data and descriptive information * Audio playback of stored recordings * Recorded file format: ASAM ODS NVH ATF/XML * Flic and Flic 2 button support * App diagnostics (optional) Benefit today from the continuous further development of this particular app. Prerequisites: PAK capture 5.0 requires a measurement device equipped with PAK live; some features need PAK live 5.0 to be available.
