SR785 Two Channel Dynamic Signal Analyzer
FFT Spectrum Analysis
The SR785 Two Channel Dynamic Signal Analyzer is a precision, full-featured signal analyzer that offers state-of-the-art performance and a wide selection of features at a price that's less than half that of competitive analyzers. Building on its predecessor, the SR780, the SR785 incorporates new firmware and hardware that make it the ideal instrument for analyzing both mechanical and electrical systems. Whether your measurements involve modal analysis, machinery diagnostics, vibration testing, servo systems, control systems, or acoustics, the SR785 has the features and specifications to get the job done. Standard measurement groups include FFT, order tracking, octave, swept-sine, correlation, time capture and time/histogram. The SR785 brings the power of several instruments to your application – a spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, vibration analyzer, octave analyzer and oscilloscope.
A unique measurement architecture allows the SR785 to function as a typical dual channel analyzer with measure­ments like cross spectrum, frequency response, coherence, etc. Alternatively, the instrument can be configured so that each input channel functions as a single channel analyzer with its own span, center frequency, resolution, and averaging.
This allows you to view a wideband spectrum and simultaneously zoom in on spectral details.
The same advanced architecture provides storage of all measurement building blocks and averaging modes. Vector averaged, RMS averaged, unaveraged and peak hold versions of all measurements are simultaneously acquired and can be displayed without re-taking data.
Use the SR785 to monitor the fundamental and harmonics of your signal. Total harmonic power and THD are calculated in real-time for fast, accurate analysis.
Bottom display shows a wideband FFT, while the top display shows a narrowband FFT of the same signal. The sideband marker has been selected for calculation of the total sideband power.
Averaging
The SR785 comes equipped with a wide selection of averaging techniques to improve your signal to noise ratio. Choose RMS averaging to reduce signal fluctuations, vector averaging to actually eliminate noise from synchronous signals, or peak hold averaging. In the order-tracking measurement group, time averaging is available. Both linear and exponential averaging are provided for each mode.
The SR785 is so fast, there's no need for a separate "fast averaging" mode. Averaging is always fast, and the display update rate is never sacrificed to increase the averaging rate. For instance, in a full span FFT measurement with a 4 ms
time record, 1000 averages take exactly 4 seconds, during which the SR785 still operates at its maximum display rate. For impact testing, the average preview feature allows each time record or spectrum to be accepted or rejected before adding it to the measurement.
View order maps or track individual orders with the SR785.
The SR785 tracks up to 400 orders simultaneously. You can display the amplitude profile of any two orders in tracked order mode.
Order Tracking
Order tracking is used to evaluate the behavior of rotating machinery. Measurement data is displayed as a function of multiples of the shaft frequency (orders), rather than absolute frequency. Combined with a waterfall plot, the SR785 provides a complete history or "order map" of your data as a function of time or RPM. Using the slice feature, the ampli­tude profile of specific orders in the map can be analyzed.
In tracked order mode the intensity of individual orders vs. RPM is measured. Unlike other analyzers, there’s no need to track a limited number of orders to ensure full speed measurements. The SR785’s speed allows simultaneous tracking of up to 400 orders.
Run-up and run-down measurements are available in both polar and magnitude/phase formats. RPM profiling is
Run-up and run-down measurements in both polar and bode formats are available.
