PRÜFTECHNIK introduces the next generation of FFT data collector and signal analyzer<br />
The new VIBXPERT II features a high degree of ergonomics and<br />
speed. A VGA color screen with over 200,000 colors has been<br />
employed to create an even clearer graphics-based user interface<br />
with excellent user guidance. The ergonomically shaped housing<br />
makes the device particularly comfortable to use. As a data collector,<br />
VIBXPERT II achieves considerably lower measurement times<br />
through the use of the latest processor technology and by optimizing<br />
internal measurement processes. Numerous evaluation functions and<br />
practical measurement templates ease detailed analyses of complex<br />
machinery problems and routine measurements on-site. With the large<br />
data memory of 2 GB and long-life lithium ion batteries, data collection<br />
of up to eight hours can be achieved without interruption.<br />
“The experiences made by our many VIBXPERT users are directly<br />
reflected by the features of this new product. The result is a new<br />
generation of powerful data collectors and analyzers based on<br />
sophisticated technology and featuring intuitive operation,” says<br />
Managing Director Johann Lösl, PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring<br />
GmbH.<br />

FLIR launches world first - IR cameras that ‘talk’<br />
FLIR has launched MeterLink TM, an industry-first wireless connection between selected FLIR cameras and Extech (a FLIR<br />
subsidiary) measurement instruments enabling them to ‘talk’ to each other. This revolutionary technology developed by<br />
FLIR is the first time an IR camera is able to interact with more parameters in different applications.<br />
The MeterLink simplifies the work of an electrical or building inspector by making it possible to transfer, via Bluetooth TM ,<br />
the data acquired by the measurement instrument into the infrared camera and implement it on the infrared image for<br />
accurate, coordinated documentation. The new MeterLink technology saves time and eliminates the risk of faulty records<br />
or notes. For example, during infrared inspections of electrical components, users can transmit key electrical readings<br />
such as current or voltage from a MeterLink-enabled Extech EX845 1000A AC/DC clamp meter directly to a FLIR infrared<br />
camera.<br />
For building-related professionals concerned with tracking moisture and water ingress, MeterLink works with the Extech<br />
InspectorPro MO297 multi-function moisture meter and psychrometer.<br />
Roger Christiansz, General Manager FLIR <strong>Systems</strong> Australia said: ‘MeterLink enables FLIR customers to integrate valuable<br />
readings from advanced, multifunction Extech meters into one format, infrared image.’<br />
‘MeterLink and the related connectivity features we are introducing represent FLIR’s commitment to driving innovation and<br />
leadership in the infrared camera industry.” The new, industry-first features include:<br />
• MeterLinkTM – BluetoothTM-based connectivity with Extech measurement instruments<br />
• Instant Reports – In-camera application generates PDF inspection reports on-the-go. Inspectors can easily compile<br />
images and findings into a fully-formatted PDF report that can be given to a client at a job site via USB memory stick.
