Head to head
About

VSE

This app works with a specialized hardware analyzer to troubleshoot and analyze CATV and spectrum signals. It offers a consolidated platform for preparing, deploying, and diagnosing digital cable issues from headend to premise.

Highlights
  • CATV and spectrum signal analysis
  • Noise troubleshooting platform
  • Remote PHY and CCAP support
  • Spectrum, MPEG, and QAM measurements
  • Automatic network scan and detect
  • Upstream test modes
Read full description

The VSE-1100 app is designed to be used in conjunction with the Viavi VSE-1100 CATV and spectrum analyzer. Note: The VSE-1100 app provides limited demonstration capability without being connected to the analyzer. The VSE-1100 is the CATV industry’s first consolidated digital spectrum video analyzer and noise-troubleshooting platform designed for the challenges of the converged cable access platform (CCAP) and remote PHY evolution. It is not an update to an existing, analog-based platform, but a completely redesigned product and the industry’s first device developed specifically for the digital cable world – and the rise in unicast traffic. VSE-1100 provides: ∙ One tool to update and replace outdated measurement/analysis equipment, combining everything needed to prepare, deploy, and troubleshoot Remote PHY and/or CATV signals efficiently from the headend through the Hubsite and into the premise in a portable, compact size. ∙ Powerful capabilities not found in a single platform, including spectrum analysis, MPEG analysis, reverse path/upstream analysis, and QAM measurements – all at a fraction of the cost of owning individual testers required to do similar tests. ∙ A device superior to current and legacy tools that are immobile and heavy, provide slower measurement times, and complicated to set up and use. ∙ Ease-of-use regardless of technician capability, providing automatic network scan/detect to minimize setup time and a tablet user interface that is simplicity itself in terms of operation and remote test capabilities. ∙ Fast, innovative upstream test modes that speed troubleshooting to shorten mean time to repair.

About

MultiSens

This application connects to commercial vibration sensors to perform advanced vibration analysis. It offers various plotting and analysis types, including ODS and fault detection. Data can be stored locally or in the cloud, and measurements can be assigned to an asset tree.

Highlights
  • Time Waveform and Spectrum Plots
  • 3D Vibration Analysis
  • Operating Deflection Shape Analysis (ODS)
  • Fault Detection
  • Vibration Logger
  • Cloud Data Storage
Features
Read full description

The app is designed to connect to a variety of commercial vibration sensors (wired & wireless) and to perform different types of vibration analysis, such as: - Time Waveform and Spectrum Plots (Including Cursors for high peaks, cpm and sidebands) - Spectrum Difference Analysis - 3D Vibration Analysis - Operating Deflection Shape Analysis (ODS) - Coast-down and ramp-up analysis - Orbit Plots  - Transmissibility Analysis - Polar Time-Waveform - Phase & Amplitude Spectral Analysis - Cross-Spectrum Phase Analysis - Vibration Logger - Bump Test Analysis (System Response Spectrum) - Live Waterfall Spectrum Analysis - Machine Certification - ODS Analysis - Fault Detection Data and Reports can be stored on the device or in the cloud for further analysis. Take out-of-route measurements (offline & online) and assign it to any point in your asset tree. The asset tree can have as many levels as you require. Note: Although the app will run for iOS versions 11 and above, we recommend iOS 13 or higher for better performance

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: MultiSens at monthly against VSE's every 2 months. VSE's advantage is ratings volume (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
