EDM Overview
EDM (Engineering Data Management) is the desktop software that works with all Crystal Instruments front-end hardware.
Getting Started
Appendix: Software Options
EDM may include the following software applications based on license key options.
VCS: single axis and MIMO vibration controller software
THV: temperature, humidity, and vibration control software
MSC: multi-shaker control software
WE: waveform editor, processes data for VCS
DSA: dynamic signal analyzer software
RCM: remote monitoring software
TDA: time data acquisition software
Other software products installed separately:
PA: post analysis software. Post processing data acquired by CoCo or Spider hardware
EDC: embedded device controller, lightweight temperature and humidity control software designed for touchscreen operation
VDS: vibration diagnostic system
Machine Builder: builds machine models to be used in VCS
FECT: front-end calibration tool, calibration software for Spider hardware
Appendix: Hardware Options
The vibration control system software runs on several different hardware platforms from Crystal Instruments:
Spider-81: an 8-channel device that can be expanded to a system with hundreds of channels
Spider-81B: a 4-channel economic version of Spider-81
Spider-80X: a compact packaging of Spider-81 that can be expanded to a system with hundreds of channels
Spider-80Xi: a compact version of Spider-80X without the enclosure as a modular card inside of chassis
Spider-80SG: an 8-channel device with bridge channels for Strain Gauge or general data acquisition applications
Spider-80SGi: a compact version of Spider-80SG without the enclosure as a modular card inside of chassis
