VTI Instruments - EMX-4XXX High-performance Breakout Boxes, Smart High Density Dynamic Signal Analyzers, Smart PXIe 652 KSA/s Digitizers, and Charge / IEPE PXI Digitizers
The EMX-4xxx product family contains high-performance breakout boxes (EMX-4008 and EMX-4016), smart high density dynamic signal analyzers (EMX-4250 and EMX-4251), smart PXIe 625 KSA/s 4-channel digizers (EMX-4350), and charge and IEPE PXIe 625 KSA/s 4-channel digitizers (EMX-4380).
The EMX-4xxx series is part of the SentinelEX family, VTI Instruments latest generation of data acquisition products, building on our legacy as a leading supplier of data acquisition and modular instruments. This 4th generation of "Smart" dynamic signal analyzers builds upon a proud legacy established in the 1980's by continuing to deliver the most trusted solutions to the noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) marketplace. These innovative solutions are part of the largest worldwide install-base of DSA instrumentation, delivering unmatched performance and measurement confidence.
More than just a digitizer, the EMX series does it all:
- Acoustic testing
- Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
- Machine condition monitoring
- Modal testing
- Rotating machine
- Structural testing
- Wind tunnel dynamics
