The ADRE System –
The Professional’s Choice
In 1980, we had a revolutionary idea. What if the methods for collecting machinery and process data on tape and then tediously turning it into plots could be automated? It would mean a dramatic reduction in the time needed to diagnose machinery conditions, allowing engineers to spend less time reducing data and more time interpreting it. We called it the ADRE* System—Automated Diagnostics for Rotating Equipment—and it truly revolutionized the industry.
More than 30 years and five successful product generations later, the ADRE System remains globally recognized as the tool of choice for professionals tasked with assessing machinery conditions in the field and on the test stand. It has become the standard against which all others are measured when it comes to on-demand, flexible, field-rugged multi-channel machinery data acquisition.
Our latest generation of the ADRE System is everything you’ve come to expect from the world’s premier data acquisition system while exponentially boosting its power, performance, and ease of use.
Flexible
The ADRE System is designed to handle a broader range of data acquisition tasks than ever before. Whether you are collecting data from control valves to understand process dynamics, studying the electromagnetic behavior of locomotive motors on a test stand, performing structural analysis and impact testing on piping, or collecting start-up data on the rotor dynamics of a recently overhauled steam turbine, the flexibility of the ADRE System makes it a perfect fit. Whatever your parameter of interest, if it is available as an electrical signal, the ADRE System can handle it, allowing it to be used for more applications and in more industries than ever before. And, unlike many generic data acquisition systems that— although feature-rich—are difficult to configure and use, you won’t spend hours configuring the ADRE System. You can go from “out of the box” to “collecting data” in as little as ten minutes.
It’s All About the User
For more than a quarter century, customers just like you have been continually helping us refine the ADRE System to be everything
it needs to be. In fact, it’s the tool used by our own machinery diagnostics field engineers around the world—“power users” who rely on ADRE Systems every day to do their job. It’s also the tool used by the field engineers of many leading machinery manufacturers and consultants around the world. It’s found in plants, research labs, test stands, and academic institutions. But no matter where ADRE Systems are found, its users have this in common: they insist upon the very best capabilities and the very best value. In the ADRE System, they’ve found it.

An Instrument
and An Analyzer
The ADRE system’s design philosophy was to provide fully parallel, real-time signal processing of not just every channel, but every configured parameter as well. Unlike devices that rely extensively on recording raw data and then post-processing that data for the parameters of interest, the ADRE System is different. It works as
a realtime instrument allowing you to stream not just raw data, but processed data so you can see changes as they happen—not after the fact. With the ADRE System, you don’t sacrifice postprocessing flexibility either. It delivers both. Data can be manipulated and processed in many different ways. In addition, the newest version of ADRE includes an analog output replay card and new molded cable to help you playback collected data. ADRE allows you to simultaneously replay up to 32 channels of raw data to external devices.
Enhancing
Your Productivity
Your value is in interpreting data. The less time spent configuring the system, and then gathering and reducing that data, the more time you have to solve problems and deliver information. We understand. Everything about the ADRE system has been designed with this in mind, allowing you to get the data—all the data—quickly, easily, and even remotely when required.
•Configure Simply
Drag-and-drop wizard configuration reduces setup time and errors
•Collaborate Easily
Simultaneous data sharing via client/ server architecture
•Reduce Travel
Full remote operation via LAN/WAN—even through corporate firewalls
•Save Time
“Out of the box” to data acquisition in minutes
•Lighten Your Load
Everything you need is in one, easy-to- carry, integrated instrument
•Automate your Testing
Flexible, easy-to-change setup and configuration features along with high-resolution data capture make the system ideal for test stand use and factory acceptance testing
•Import Capabilities
Import Comma-Separated Values (CSV) static and dynamic data into an ADRE Sxp Database
One Device Does It All
With the ADRE system, gone are the days of lugging separate instruments—oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, analog or digital tape recorder, vector filters, signal conditioners, and amp racks. Dramatic advances in digital signal processing make it possible
to truly capture all the data, and the latest version comes equipped with Modbus input and output capabilities, so you can make configuration changes and output static data to/from ADRE to MODBUS-compatible devices. For example, users can make configuration changes from a DCS and also receive ADRE data where it can be combined with other process data for detailed analysis in a test cell environment. The ADRE system truly liberates you to the freedom of a single instrument that’s easy to use and easy to transport—without sacrificing any of the data.

ADRE 408 DSPi Hardware
Convenient User Interface
A menu-drive front panel user interface allows you to operate the instrument using preconfigured settings without connecting to a computer—particularly useful for field jobs where connection to a laptop is inconvenient, impractical, or impossible.
Versatile Packaging
The 408 DSPi is equally at home machine-side or in the lab via its standard carrying handles or 19-inch EIA rack-mount options.
WAN/LAN Enabled
As a hardened network appliance, the 408 DSPi is specially engineered to work across corporate firewalls and networks, allowing you to Move Data, Not People* easily between a 408 server and multiple ADRE Sxp software clients located anywhere on the globe.
Dynamic Input Cards
Each card accepts up to 8-channels of dynamic waveform inputs and/or static inputs. Up to
32 inputs per 408 DSPi. Robust, convenient, industry-standard SMA connectors are used for all signal inputs, providing compatibility with cabling used in the majority of today’s test and measurement devices.
Modular
Each 408 DSPi chassis has 4 slots for signal input cards, allowing you to mix 3-channel phase/ speed input cards and 8-channel dynamic input cards for the specific channel counts and types needed for each application. Populate your 408 with only what you need.
Analog Output Card
The newest version of ADRE 408 includes an analog output replay card and new molded cable, allowing simultaneously replay of up to 32 channels of raw data to external devices.
True Client/Server Ethernet Architecture
Multiple ADRE Sxp software clients can access a single 408 simultaneously, or connect to multiple 408s operating independently. Each client has completely independent control of and access to data, just as with any true server.
Digital Replay Card
The Digital Replay Card provides simultaneous synchronous and asynchronous internal digital reprocessing and playback of all channels
in the 408 DSPi. It maintains exceptional accuracy and precision in the signal reprocessing, far surpassing the capabilities of other equipment and reprocessing techniques.
