  For field applications where the measurement engineering capabilities of devices for mobile applications are equally demanding to those of the laboratory devices, ST integrates systems based on imc systems especially designed for there applications where demands on devices are significantly different not only in terms of size but also in its working conditions. In the simplest case, a DC power supply unit, an extended temperature range, condensation proofing and insensitivity to mechanical and climatic stresses are required. And the ability to capture physical quantities simultaneously with Field bus data is of ever-increasing importance. Within the solutions ST offers, data analysis software represents one key element. Dedicated software packages for different tasks and data mix are designed for fast and consistent evaluation of acquired data and images according to international standards for signal filtering and recommendations for measurement techniques. Depending on data sources and number of channels, software solutions catalog and store the data from in pre-defined files format that allow the data to be readily accessible for analysis, data correlation, comparison, summarizing, evaluate and reporting, space and time calibration and automatic tracking. in an easy way by means of using advanced analysis features and editing tools such as (drag & drop, logos and images, coloring, graphs-images-data mix and mach) for customization. A variety of display and report generation possibilities are available for presenting the measured data in graphs, curves, alphanumeric, tables, etc. Additionally, database management capabilities are provided to satisfy long-term and high-volume archiving needs. Software suites and options include:
Measurement under harsh environmental conditions such as extremes of heat and cold water spray, and intense vibration requires appropriately protected measurement equipment. ST integrates imc rugged systems for long-duration measurements outdoors or testing on board moving vehicles. They meet MIL STD810F standards, among the most stringent for resistance to temperature, vibration, contamination and shock. Stand-alone rugged systems may be integrated universal amplifier for voltage, current, thermocouples, PT100, strain gauges, ICP and much more. They can operate under -40°C +85°C and it is shock resistance (per MIL STD810F). ST integrates strain gauge measurement systems based on the imc physical measurement platform from multi-channel dynamic to quasi-static strain gauge applications. Using imc's advanced reliable amplifier technology ST delivers solutions for capturing and processing the signals under the most demanding applications. Solutions can be based in single units of 32 or less channels or networks of units with a common PC interface and/or independent internal storage. There is no design limitation to the number of channels that can be used. In specialized instances the channel counts associated with individual tests may be in the 1000s. These include wind tunnel testing (automotive and aerospace), and automotive structures testing. Direct support for the CANBus / J1939, J1587, and ARINC 423 bus. ST offers multi-channel, intelligent, real-time data processing and data reduction measuring systems for applications where signals from scattered sites are to be transferred noise-free to a central. Dedicated solutions are built on the imc CANSAS system. Several modules can be networked via CAN-Bus. Analog signals may connected, dynamically recorded and transmitted near their sensor sources. The modules include high-performance, synchronizable measurement amplifiers, some modules even providing the necessary sensor supply. Their internal DSP performs real-time data processing and data reduction, sampling rate is up to 1 kHz per channel and resolution up to 16 bits. The digitalized measurement signals are outputted as CAN messages in accordance with ISO 11898, or as CANopen messages. These are universally importable by measurement devices having a CAN-interface or also by automation systems, machine control units, etc. CANSAS applications include:
ST integrates solutions for acoustics and vibration analysis based on imc measurement hardware combined with imc WAVE software under a project-oriented methodology. Solutions typically include the associated measurement amplifiers. Packages functionality are custom integrated to meet your applications requirements, check out the range of possibilities: Order tracking analysis Along with the various types of FFT analysis of time-domain signals, there is also the possibility to perform special frequency analysis as a function of the rotation rate. This analysis of harmonics especially helps investigating RPM-dependent vibrations and to determine critical RPM-values. Order tracking analysis makes it possible to distinguish between vibrations caused by external forces and those due to resonances in the structure. Spectrum analyzer Here it’s possible to analyze a wide variety of spectrum representations. The calculation procedures include 1/3-octaves, octave spectra and narrow band spectra (FFT-spectra). There are many settings options for the time and frequency weighting, as well as selections for the windowing function. Sound power analyzer The sound power is determined by means of the average sound pressure level on an enclosing measurement surface. The enclosing surface can be a sphere or hemisphere or be given by 1 to 6 freely defined surfaces. Measurements according to ISO 3741, 3743, 3744, 3745, 3746 and 11094 are supported. Standards-compliant measurement of workplace noise The workplace noise is determined in accordance with ISO 11201. The module can also be used as a plug-in for spectrum analysis in order to avoid time-demanding parallel measurements if sound power levels and workplace noise. Standards-compliant pass-by analysis of motor vehicles This module serves the special purpose of measuring noise of passing vehicles in accordance with ISO 362. In this procedure, the vehicle drives at constant speed into the test stretch and undergoes full acceleration in 2nd gear at the measurement’s start. During the ride, additional signals from the CAN- or LIN-Bus can be captured in synchronicity. Personal WAVE This enables the performance of analyses which can only be inadequately handled by standard analyzers. In conjunction with FAMOS and Online FAMOS, sequences can be written for the time-domain data. imc WAVE is able to import, transfer and display the quantities computed. Standard measurement procedures such as those stipulated by DIN 45657, EN ISO 5349-1 and ISO 2631-1 can also be carried out. Structure Analyzer This analyzer enables mechanical structures to be investigated for resonances. Toward this end, a defined force signal is applied to the structure with acceleration sensors. Simultaneous processing of all signals enables the transfer function to be determined which completely describes the structure’s vibration behavior. For subsequent processing, not only the signal analysis software FAMOS is available but also an interface for the popular analysis programs ME´Scope™ and µ-Remus The CAN-Bus is rapidly spreading through the automotive industry and in the world of automation. Thus, it is becoming vitally necessary for modern data acquisition systems to be able to capture and process field bus data in combination with analog data. ST carries the full family of imc busDAQ/busLOG measurement equipment (options and characteristics listed below). It is a robust system architecture operated by the imc user interface software imcDevices. This MS-Windows software comes standard and enables quick and reliable measurement operation without the need for any programming. imcDevices allows measurement parameters, real-time functions, trigger machines, and storage modes to be set either fully manually or automatically. Display of measurement data plots in the Curve Window, as well as report composition with the Report Generator, are integral components of imcDevices. busDAQ/busLOG - CAN Datalogger A busDAQ unit can be connected to any CAN-bus subscribers such as sensors, measurement amplifiers or electronic control units and supports up to 8 nodes as well as a variety of protocols such as CCP and KWP2000. Measured data transmitted via CAN-bus can be triggered, displayed and mathematically processed as desired. The protocol parameters are configured by means of the very user-friendly software imcDevices and can be saved expressed in their physical units. Some models can be connected to the LIN and ARINC busses, in addition to the CAN-bus. Vector database linkage In many cases, parameter settings are already available as a Vector database which can be imported by any busDAQ modules. This makes it possible to set large amounts of parameters quickly and easily. The data storage media used are either Compact Flash data carriers or IDE hard drives, having various data storage capacities depending on requirements. The standard equipped Ethernet TCP/IP interface enables easy connection to the PC or integration into decentralized measurement networks. busDAQ – a Personal Analyzer The most important of imcDevices’ enhancements is the DSP computation unit Online FAMOS, which enables arbitrary definition of one’s own real-time functions and makes busDAQ a Personal Analyzer. In real time, the desired format of result data are computed from the raw data and displayed. A wide range of math and statistics functions, FFT, class-counting etc. is available for the user. busDAQ – Data Analysis The newest version of the signal analysis software imc FAMOS offers extensive options for analysis, evaluation and documentation of measurement results. The busDAQ unit saves the data directly in imc FAMOS format. Universal application fields busLOG – Data Collector This affordable module is designed with permanently configured basic functions for standard, clearly defined data logging tasks. Its low power consumption, its signal-driven Sleep Mode and its capacity for rapid resumption of measurement by means of "Wake up on CAN", in only 200 ms, destines busLOG particularly for vehicle and fleet test applications. In such settings, the module’s high degree of data integrity, its self-activation mode, and its remote monitoring capability via Internet are great assets. busDAQ-2 – Intelligent Measurement Networks busDAQ-2 with its two nodes and expanded functions such as online functions, WLAN, modem, Display, and direct GPS connection is the standard module for measurement networks with decentralized CAN subscribers such as sensors, control units or CANSAS measurement modules. busDAQ-X – Multi-bus / Multi-protocol Data Logger busDAQ-X is the universal, configurable system module which can be expanded with additional multi-bus interfaces to up to 8 nodes. With the extended functions, such as online-functions, WLAN, modem, Display, digital in- and outputs, as well as directly connectible GPS, even complex measurement networks or dive test applications are no problem. ST develops and integrates multi-channel systems to acquire data and perform universal measurements from practically any sensor and signal. Solutions can be based in single units of 32 or less channels or networks of units with a common PC interface and/or independent internal storage. There is no design limitation to the number of channels that can be used. In specialized instances the channel counts associated with individual tests may be in the 1000s.

ST offers specific equipment from imc for power quality monitoring to perform measurements according to EN 50160 which includes a power meter as well as an event analyzer. ST provides measurement solution based on the SPARTAN system from imc, which is designed for isolated voltage and temperature signals. SPARTAN is a compact, high-precision and affordable measurement system for the isolated measurement of both quasi-static and dynamic voltage, current, and temperature signals. SPARTAN operates in both centralized and decentralized measurement environment. By means of its CAN-Bus interface for connecting imc’s CANSAS measurement modules, it is even possible to accurately capture precise remote temperature signals from the SPARTAN, without the need for the expensive compensation lines which thermocouples require. ST offers tests stands based on the Motor Inspection System from imc, which comprises conventional motor tests involving test sample conveying, brake machine and torque measurement shaft as well as a model-based testing by the Parameter-Identification (PI). The decisive advantage of PI test stands for product control is that only easily accessible signals need be measured and mechanical coupling is unnecessary. In both testing arenas, optional vibro-acoustic testing is also available.
