Pre-Start Check in VisProbe SL

Pre-start check is a convenient function of TestUp software for vibration testing that allows you to double-check the test parameters and prevent equipment failures.

During the first start, TestUp will ask you to set the default settings. One of these settings is Start check. If you select it, you will see a Start check settings window after you press the start button in the control panel. In this window, you can find profile settings, shaker configuration, limits, test directories, and the configuration of channels. Start check will help you get rid of any mistakes in your profile and run the tests correctly.

TestUp has an embedded pre-start check function, which is intended for checking the connection of the controller to the amplifier, the amplifier – to the shaker, and the presence of feedback from the accelerometers. To start it, click “Diagnostics” on the “Main” ribbon tab. The graph panel will then display the oscilloscope window with the additional “Pre-start check” panel.

Use the “Start” button to deliver a Sine wave of pre-defined frequency and amplitude (“Frequency” and “Amplitude” tabs) to the selected analog output (“Output” tab). To stop the pre-start check, press “Stop”. During the pre-start check, you can change the voltage and frequency of the delivered signal, as well as the output you are checking.

In the right-hand side of the window, you will find the standard oscilloscope control panel.

You can only run a pre-start check when no test is started. When you start a test, the “Pre-start check” panel will automatically close, and the program will escape the pre-start check mode.
