Features

RULA software module combines all features necessary for precise quick and convenient calibration:

  • Choose between Sine and Random algorithms for your task;
  • Connect multiple shakers to cover a large frequency range;
  • Employ our database set up to save and switch between sensor and shaker configurations;
  • Customize conditions and characteristics of all parts of the calibration system.
Shorter Calibration Time
Shorter Calibration Time

RULA software provides calibration with Random signal excitation. With this algorithm, the shaker is excited with a Random signal containing all frequencies in the sensor frequency range. 

The method reduces the calibration time to less than 4 minutes.

Calibration Standards Compliance

Calibration is a strictly standardized procedure. Our software is made according to the most recognizable standards:

  • ISO 16063-1:1998 Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers — Part 1: Basic concepts
  • ISO 16063-21:2003 Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers — Part 21: Vibration calibration by comparison to a reference transducer
  • ISO 16063-31:2009 Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers — Part 31: Testing of transverse vibration sensitivity
Calibration Standards Compliance
Research and Development
Automated reports

After any calibration procedure, TestUP automatically creates a comprehensive report, which includes:

  • measurement results in the form of tables and graphs;
  • detailed information about the reference sensor;
  • calibration date and time, etc.

Research and Development
Research and Development

Besides the automated measurements, a manual measurement mode is implemented in RULA software.


The mode allows you to specify the frequency and amplitude (in acceleration, velocity, or displacement units) manually and check the response from the sensors. It is highly useful for research purposes and is a great choice for laboratories and research centers.

Shock Sensor Calibration
Intuitive & Flexible UI

The calibration module has a user-friendly interface and supports databases and importing/exporting data from files for quick and convenient access to sensor and shaker configurations. 

Save your system data and switch between different profiles on the fly.

Rich customization options inside the module allow you to fine-tune the settings to suit your task.

Shock Sensor Calibration
Shock Sensor Calibration

Shock sensor calibration is applied when the amplitude characteristics of the sensor exceed the maximum level of an electrodynamic shaker. In this case, the calibration is performed using an impact or shock machine. The process of shock sensor calibration can be divided into two parts. First, we need to perform a series of high-amplitude shocks. Second, we compare the results with the reference sensor data. 

Advantages:

  • Supports all types of shock machines: anvil calibrator, pneumatic piston calibrator, pendulum calibrator, drop ball calibrator, and Hopkinson bar calibrator;
  • Provides easy and fast results: place the accelerometer at the shock machine and get automatic results;
  • Combines impact detection and calculation of calibration results;
  • Covers all your calibration needs with various features and options. 

FAQ

What standard do you rely on?
ISO 16063-22 is the main standard for the shock calibration procedure. It describes the process, the scope and provides examples of different shock machines usage. 
What maximum amplitude level can be measured? 
First of all, it depends on the type of sensor. The maximum value measured by RL-C21 is up to 10000 mV or 10000 pC per channel. To get the maximum value that can be detected you need to divide this value by sensor’s sensitivity.
Can I run shock calibration using an electrodynamic shaker if I have low level amplitude? 
Sure, however, in this case 2 systems are required: the first one for shock control and the second for calibration.
What does RULA manufacture for shock sensor calibration? 
Vibration controllers and software.
