We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Vibration Measurements",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Sound software receives Vista upgrade from
Bruel and Kjaer UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "An update to Bruel and Kjaer's sound meter software packages allows users to take advantage of Microsoft's Vista operating system".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Proximity probes survive 240C heat from
Sensonics: "Sensonics range of Senturion Proximity Probes are suited to use on steam and gas turbines, centrifuges and pumps".
In April 2007, we covered the news from IPC Systems
concerning its 600 series DSA
- take a look at Dynamic signal analysers come in USB or Ethernet
which says: "IPC Systems' DSA hardware provides signal conditioning and data acquisition, while the eZ-series PC-based software provides monitoring and analysis functions".
Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), Predicting failure with bearing vibration analysis,
as well as Automotive test products go on show from Endevco,
and Vibrometer covers 0 - 450kHz range from Armstrong Optical.
