The increasing complexity of vehicle architectures demands extensive calibration and optimization programs. This especially includes the measurement and analysis of various kinds of acoustic signals such as noise and vibration (NVH).
Over the course of product development in the automotive industry, sooner or later it is necessary to cross-correlate acoustic signals with those from the combustion engine, e-motor, inverter, and other sources.
One typical requirement is the clear identification of the root cause of noise and the correlation of unwanted vibrations or airborne noises to acoustic surfaces and to electrical excitation inside the stator of an electric motor.
The X-FEM NVH is a 4-channel acquisition module suitable for use with all common acoustic sensor output types such as voltage, charge and ICP/IEPE. Each channel can be individually configured.
All raw signals are stored in a compressed file at high resolution and in time-synchronized formats. The signals and relevant KPI’s are available in real-time and can be transmitted to an automation system or optimization software for further processing.
The optional NVH TOOLBOX for AVL IndiCom™ or AVL Concerto™ includes the most common NVH analysis tools and online NVH macros, which significantly accelerates and simplifies both data acquisition and subsequent data evaluation.
