Entering the random vibration test profiles is straightforward and testing is executed efficiently, followed up by comprehensive, automated reporting. In addition, using the ObserVR1000 DAQ/Analyzer and ObserVIEW software, you can instrument a packaged product with accelerometers and analyze drop test results. This isnt necessary if your packaged product passes the drop tests BUT, if it fails, youll have the data and insight to support an intelligent re-design, not relying on just a best-guess approach.
