PAK capture vs Vibration Pro

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.

Vibration Pro turns your iPhone or iPad into a precision FFT vibration spectrum analyzer — a portable, professional-grade alternative to a benchtop analyzer for predictive maintenance, machinery diagnostics, and vibration research. Version 5.00 is a complete visual redesign: a modern, color-coded interface built around the way vibration technicians actually work, with clean, uncluttered screens for every channel and setting, a drag-cursor readout for reading exact values on any plot, and a crisp new PDF report you can generate and share in seconds. MEASURE FROM ANYWHERE - Built-in 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope — no extra hardware required - Built-in microphone input for acoustic vibration analysis - Full support for the Digiducer family of professional USB accelerometers (333D01, 333D04, 633A01, 435B39) and The Modal Shop 485B39 two-channel USB input module — mount the sensor on the machine instead of your phone or iPad, for a wider dynamic range and to keep your device off hot, dirty, or vibrating equipment - CTC WS200 and WS300 Bluetooth wireless accelerometers - Sabrent USB input/output dongle support ANALYZE LIKE A BENCH-TOP SPECTRUM ANALYZER - Time series and FFT frequency spectrum on every channel, with adjustable sample rate, sample length, and start delay - Linear-Linear, Log-Log, Log-Linear, and Linear-Log frequency display modes - Hamming, Hanning, and Flattop windowing - Integrate and differentiate in the frequency domain (acceleration ↔ velocity ↔ displacement) - RMS and peak levels per channel and combined - Frequency averaging and peak hold - Color-coded peaks list with the top 5 peaks per channel - Tap-and-drag cursor readout in portrait or landscape, with magnetic snap to peaks - Adjustable frequency alarm limits BUILT FOR THE FIELD - Trigger acquisitions from any channel or the microphone - Auto-repeat and auto-save for long-duration monitoring - Machine Menu — organize test scripts into a visual menu by machine - Save and load complete instrument settings - Full scripting language (subscription) to guide technicians step-by-step through repeatable, multi-point test procedures - Apple Watch companion app to trigger and monitor acquisitions DOCUMENT YOUR RESULTS - New crisp PDF report — identical on iPhone and iPad — with time series and frequency plots, acquisition and sensor details, and a full peaks table - Email data and reports directly from the app, or save locally and transfer with the Files app - Open, non-proprietary format — captures save as plain CSV with full-precision time and frequency data, ready to reload in the app or analyze in Excel, MATLAB, or Python - Automatic reverse-geocoded job location In predictive maintenance applications, Vibration Pro helps identify bearing defects, shaft misalignment, imbalance, and structural resonant frequencies — and is equally useful for monitoring material handling and part-handling equipment, structural testing, and general machinery diagnostics. Scripting is available through an auto-renewing monthly or annual subscription, which can be managed or canceled at any time in your App Store account settings.
