Order Power Spectrum (Analog or Digital Tacho with DAQmx, Offline)
PrintOverview
This VI demonstrates how to compute an order power spectrum with averaging. This VI uses DAQmx VIs to acquire sound or vibration signals and an analog tachometer signal and displays the order power spectrum continuously. This program is a shipping example VI included with the NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite and NI Sound and Vibration Toolkit.
This Virtual Instrument is designed to work with data acquisition hardware from National Instruments. To find compatible hardware for this application, visit ni.com/soundandvibration.
This software is written in LabVIEW, a graphical programming language designed for scientists and engineers. For more information about LabVIEW, visit ni.com/labview.
