With its dedicated structural mode, the FFT plug-in offers a comprehensive tool panel for FRF (Frequency Response Function) acquisition. Whatever the method used, impact testing with hammer or shaker excitation, FRFs are confidently acquired.

The synchronous time domain averaging of impact signals allows acquiring the natural modes (FRFs, Coherence) of machinery without interrupting its operation (or any forced vibrations). This unique feature simplifies the natural resonance evaluation on diagnostic operations.
