Stay on top of it: Real-time data analysis with imc data acquisition systems

The imc DAQ systems operate in a decentralized, networked manner, capturing all measurement data synchronously. Integrated real-time data analysis allows for immediate display, processing, linking, and analysis of data. This approach provides insights and meaningful information that go beyond simple, direct measurements. Real-time analysis isn’t just reserved for later, separate data evaluations—it happens concurrently, is available alongside primary measurement data, and is consistently managed by the measurement system. This allows for data from all areas of the train to be combined, such as analog channels with data from internal train field buses. This setup enables an overview of the train’s operational state, functional units, or specific components to be available during testing, such as a trial run. "Live multi-monitoring" further supports quick, secure, and effective real-time monitoring, allowing multiple monitoring stations (or PCs) to access all data simultaneously, visualize it, and add live text, audio, or voice comments.

These meta-information pieces are precisely matched to their corresponding measurement channels, stored, and combined with video channels to form an integrated system of analog, digital, virtual (computed), field bus, and multimedia channels. This comprehensive “pool” of measurement information is then available for advanced storage management, database management, and further analysis using imc FAMOS or other third-party tools. With this setup, experts can obtain precise, data-driven results for the development and testing of various components such as brakes, suspension, or propulsion systems.
