POWERStudio Data Acquisition (DAQ) Software

We deliberately decided against any operating elements and visualization on our power analyzer series LK601. Instead we developed measurement acquisition software that goes beyond the functionalities of a classic power meter. Whether range or trigger settings. Everything is guaranteed to be quickly accessible in POWERStudio. Easy, quick saving and loading. Various applications and test cycles are quick and easy to launch!

All measurement data are available straight on the computer. No time consuming data transfer via USB stick or third-party software. If our extensive analysis tools are not sufficient, the data can simply be exported into a common format.

Measurement applications are very individual. Our system adapts to your requirements. Not the other way around! Create your own live calculations (from all available data) and display them in the way you need it. Suit up your E-Drive-Systems!

User-defined calculations
Describe your test-bench

Having demanding testing applications and requirements, it is not enough to simply record the electrical measured parameters. In case a machine's efficiency needs to be calculated, mechanical and electrical measured values have to be correlated. With our DAQ-Software you have the possibility to create your own calculation rules right from the beginning. You can combine all available data with one another. Whether electrical, CAN- or other data.

• "Live" and/or post-processing calculation
• Freely combine electrical, CAN and other data
• Access to a wide variety of mathematical functions
  sin(), min(), max(), ....
• Scripting and condition functionality
  if, else, >, <, = , ....
• Custom display options

Real-time measurement and FFT
Oscilloscope functions by default

Just because we didn't want to build another oscilloscope doesn't mean you have to give up real-time measurement and FFT frequency analysis. Record current and voltage of all phases in parallel and in real time. With a maximum sampling rate of 10 MSa/s, you can analyze even high-frequency signals with high accuracy.

• Parallel recording of up to 6 channels (U + I)
• Adjustable sampling rate up to 10 MSa/s
• 2 GB data memory
• FFT frequency analysis for current, voltage and power signal
• "Live"-functionality (during testing)
• Save, load and export real-time data
• Immediate analysis option in POWERStudio

Efficiency Maps
Determination of Component Efficiency

Efficiency maps provide information about the performance of electrical drive components such as machines or drive inverters. The efficiency of the device under test (DUT) is recorded at various operating points. With respect to drive applications these approached operating points are usually speed and torque. The result is represented by 3D heatmaps whereas the third dimension is the color of the plotted values.

• 3D-Visualization as heatmap
• Data Acquisition by Steady-State-Detection or ext. trigger
• Powerful settings for data averaging and interpolation
• Save-, load- und export maps
• Create automation process via CAN Beta
• Compare and determine deviations from reference

Custom views
No corset = More possibilities

Whether in research & development or EOL testing. Every test application is different. We offer the opportunity to create your own dashboard views. The custom views can also be applied to a multi-screen system. Measurement values can be linked to each visual UI-element individually. No matter whether electrical values (P, U, I), CAN-data or user-defined calculation values. Fast, intuitive and simple!

• Graphical creation by using DragNDrop
• Individual assignment of measured values
• Saving and loading dasboards
• Variety of visual elements
• Linked analysis functions
• Multi-screen compatible

Analysis Tools
No additional software needed

In classic measurement applications, the acquired data is recorded and then exported manually . These are then manipulated and analyzed using third-party software. Alternatively, measuring devices are also integrated into LabView environments. Either cases involve an enormous amount of time and / or money.

With our POWERStudio software we offer extensive analysis possibilities, which are linked with each other across windows and graphs. Of course, all those tools can also be used in conjunction with our customized user views. On- and offline! Load old measurement data and do your data analysis within your self-created visual environment.
