iVibraMeter is a Tool for Machine Condition Monitoring. The iPad Application connects to the Data Acquisition Box and collects in real time the Overall RMS Vibration (Acceleration or Velocity), and displays the value together with the severity bar based in different industry standards. IMPORTANT NOTE: iVibraMeter requires external hardware for proper operation. A complete data acquisition hardware package, including an iPad, data acquisition box and external accelerometer is available, please contact us. FEATURES: - Real-Time Overall RMS values - Vibration Signal Spectrum/Waveform - Vibration in Velocity (ips or mm/s) or Acceleration (G's) - User can select from different industrial severity standards - User can define customized alarm and danger values - Signal Averaging option - Accelerometer calibration option - Generate report with machine information, vibration levels, severity bar, map location, pictures from library or camera, signature and notes. - email pdf report - Help & Instructions

About

VibeUnits

This utility app converts between various amplitude units used in vibration analysis. It supports common units like mils, microns, ips, mm/s, G's, and m/s² in RMS, peak-peak, and 0-peak formats. Note that conversions for D-V-A apply only to single-frequency vibrations.

Highlights
  • Converts mils RMS, peak-peak, 0-peak
  • Converts microns RMS, peak-peak, 0-peak
  • Converts ips RMS, peak-peak, 0-peak
  • Converts mm/s RMS, peak-peak, 0-peak
  • Converts G's RMS, peak-peak, 0-peak
  • Converts m/s² RMS, peak-peak, 0-peak
  • Supports D-V-A conversions for sinusoidal waves

VibeUnits is a conversion calculator of the most commonly used amplitude units in vibration analysis. Converts to and from the following units: - mils RMS - mils peak-peak - mils 0-peak - microns RMS - microns peak-peak - microns 0-peak - ips RMS - ips peak-peak - ips 0-peak - mm/s RMS - mm/s peak-peak - mm/s 0-peak - G's RMS - G's peak-peak - G's 0-peak - m/s² RMS - m/s² peak-peak - m/s² 0-peak Note: the vibration equations used for changing units between D-V-A, only apply to vibration occurring at a discrete frequency (sinusoidal waves).
