VR Mobile - Vibration Tools

Vibration Research Corporation

About this app

VR Mobile connects to an ObserVR1000 dynamic signal analyzer or VibrationVIEW for live vibration test monitoring using a phone or tablet. It also contains engineering calculators, a light strobe, a noise SPL meter, and accelerometer. All of this from your mobile device!

INCLUDED FEATURES:

Connect to nearby ObserVR1000 Dynamic Signal Analyzer & DAQ
- Setup inputs, record and monitor data.
- Live FFT Analysis

Record video in sync with ObserVR1000 recordings
- Record video with phone camera
- Record video with GoPro®️ Hero 5 and up cameras via bluetooth

Remotely control VibrationVIEW from within the VR Mobile App (while on the same network).

Max Acceleration Calculator:
- Calculate the maximum amount of acceleration that a shaker (from a database) can output based on the mass added to the system.

Unit Converter:
- Convert Acceleration, Force, Mass, Velocity, and Displacement units to and from common units.

Sine Calculator:
- Based on sinusoidal motion, calculate Acceleration, Frequency, Velocity, and Displacement by inputting any two of these values.

Shock Calculator:
- Pick between two impact types: Plastic or Elastic, and the pulse type. Shock Calculator will find the remaining two values given two inputs: Acceleration, Impact Time, Velocity Change, and Height Change.

Noise Meter:
- Measure minimum, current, and maximum dB from your mobile device's microphone.

Accelerometer:
- Measure minimum, current, and maximum acceleration in each of your mobile device's accelerometer axes.
- Zero out acceleration to calibrate for an uneven surface.

Strobe Light and Flashlight
- Strobe your device's screen and/or flash LED from 1 - 30 Hz. Strobing helps one to see objects vibrating too fast for the eye to see.
- Turn your device's screen and/or flash LED into a flashlight; this makes a convenient flashlight during test setups.
- NOTE: Not all device's LED flash can be controlled by the VR Mobile app.

Contact VR:
- Watch YouTube videos from VR.
- Visit VR's website.

VR Products:
- View our VR9700 and VR10500 Vibration Test Controllers, and the ObserVR1000 Dynamic Signal Analyzer.

Ratings and reviews

Wow, pretty cool tool for field work. Would be nice if they add a rudimentary ability to view saved data. Currently you can only see active data.

studying

It doesn't have any facility to test vibration

What’s new

Fixed an issue preventing devices from being discoverable in the Connect to Device screen.
