The Vericom V-Sense
TM
combination of sensor instrumentation and analysis software that offers significant flexibility for testing
nearly any moving object or vibration application. If you can find a way to attach the V-Sense POD to the
test object, you can quickly and easily collect the targeted data (for many applications, the heavy-duty
vacuum cup mounting system provided with the package is the perfect option for mounting the sensor
unit). The test files are then analyzed with the Vericom Profile X1 analysis software. Vericom Profile X1
is also very easy to use – yet very sophisticated and powerful. Optionally, you can elect to add up to 12
external analog sensors to the V-Sense POD for collection of a wide variety of data from almost any low
voltage analog sensor (0-5v).
