Fall shows go international

San Jose, CA 14 November, 2002 -- Data Physics has its offices on the West coast of the U.S., but we exist all over the world. This autumn, much of the action is outside the U.S. In Germany, Electronica is now going on -- the perfect place to find every sort of electronic gadget you need, and quite a few you don't yet know you need. Come by the Data Physics booth and say hello. On the far side of the world, the Australian Acoustic Society meeting offers another chance to see Data Physics products and ideas in action. And to really take the show on the road, the applications seminars are on their way to Moscow before the end of the year. Watch this space for details. For exhibition details, click here.

Seminars are still touring

San Jose, CA 7 October, 2002 -- The applications seminars that toured the US in the spring proved very popular. Thank you to all who came, listened, and told us you wanted more. As a result, we're starting another round. First few dates are Chicago 8 October, Milford, MA 7 November, and Research Triangle Park, NC 12 November. The instructors will be some of the same Data Physics experts you have seen elsewhere, and the seminars will follow the familiar format of a morning of analyzer applications followed by lunch and an afternoon of vibration control topics. Each seminar is unique, as each audience shapes the experience for all there, but they have all been rewarding and informative. For details, click here. To register, click here

New dates for analyzer and controller training

San Jose, CA – 22 August, 2002 – Sorry to rearrange your schedules, but in order to have the instructors we want available, we've had to change the dates for the fall training classes. New dates are: Analyzer training 21-25 October, 2002 and Controller training 28-31 October, 2002. On the one hand, you may have to wait longer before you'll be ready to appreciate the full power of your equipment. On the other hand, San Jose in October is a nice change from any place that really has winter. Now, you have enough notice to get cheap tickets, we will reserve a block of discounted hotel rooms, we have people here who really know how to make this equipment fly and are eager to share their expertise-- what are you waiting for?

Data Physics presents at Geotechnics Conference

San Jose, CA – 10 July, 2002 – In St. John's, Newfoundland, the 1st International Conference on Physical Modeling in Geotechnics is taking place July 10-12, 2002. Among the technical papers being presented are two by Data Physics scientists: "Dynamically Balanced Broad Frequency Earthquake Simulation System" by J. Perdriat, R. Phillips, J. Nicolas Font and C. Hutin, and "Dynamically Balanced Broad Frequency Earthquake Simulation" by A. Hutin, J. Perdriat and D. Rames For details of the conference, click here

A-weight versus Loudness Measurements

San Jose, CA – 1 July, 2002 – It's old news (I missed a few publication deadlines while wrestling with a new ISP), but while we were settling in to the new office, Sound & Vibration magazine was publishing an article by Data Physics' John Masciale entitled "The Difficulties in Evaluating A-weighted Sound Level Measurements". See the article in the April issue of Sound and Vibration, or here

Sine Reduction adds power, flexibility to vibration tests

San Jose, CA – 28 June, 2002 – No matter how many channels a vibration controller has, there are times when more would be better. Data Physics knows vibration control, and how to make the most of the resources available for a test. With SignalCalc Dynamic Signal Analyzers, you can now monitor a vibration test with unprecedented integration between controller and analyzer, including implementing a Test Abort from an analyzer channel unmeasured by the controller. Further, notching prediction allows for notching before the full-level test, adding an extra layer of protection for delicate components. More info

Stepped Sine analysis available for SignalCalc Dynamic Signal Analyzers

San Jose, CA – 12 June, 2002 – Sometimes even the most careful FFT analysis just can't overcome the noise or nonlinearity of a system under test. Data Physics, the company you rely on in all aspects of vibration control, has now added stepped sine testing to its SignalCalc line of analyzers. With up to twenty individually-configured analysis bands and five automated measurement modes, SignalCalc Stepped Sine takes modern stepped sine testing to a new level of ease and convenience.

Data Physics Introduces the Drop Test option for SignalCalc Ace

San Jose, CA – 10 May, 2002 – In response to customer demand, Data Physics adds the Drop Test capability to its SignalCalc Ace dynamic signal analyzer to meet test requirements in accordance with ANSI, ISO, ASTM D-775, -1083, -3332, -4168 and D-5276 specifications with MIL-STD-810 tolerance limits. The Drop Test option, now available for all SignalCalc analyzers, allows for measuring acceleration waveforms and provides calculated faired acceleration and velocity, auto- and user-selectable acceleration pulse width and peak, change in velocity, and user-selectable drop orientation and scaling. Easy annotation and plotting smooth the way for documenting tests. More info

Data Physics Corporation Meets ISO 17025 Requirements

Dr. Vahid Sotoudeh, Quality Systems Manager at Data Physics Corporation, today announced that the company quality system has been audited against ISO 17025 international standards applicable to testing and calibration of its products and has met all the requirements. ISO 17025 replaces the ISO Guide 25 that was commonly used for calibration labs accreditation. With the new compliance Data Physics Corporation extends the scope of its products and services offered to a vast range of industries demanding controlled and certified procedures for the calibration of their test and measurement equipment. For example, the automotive standards QS 9000 and 16949 require their suppliers to be ISO 17025 certified for their test and calibration procedures.

Applications seminars are coming

San Jose, CA - 8 April, 2002 - Data Physics is pleased to present seminars on topics in Shaker Control and Sound and Vibration Analysis. Based on Data Physics' many years of experience serving a variety of industries and applications, these seminars will offer both a basic introduction to making measurements and advanced topics for overcoming the most demanding measurement problems. If you diagnose machinery health, validate design models using modal testing, test to assure product quality, measure emitted acoustic noise or use FFT techniques in the laboratory or plant, the Sound and Vibration seminar is for you. If you are testing your products to MIL Spec, transportation standards or environmental survivability you will find the Shaker Control seminars directly applicable to your tests.
