    IPEmotion, the high-performance software offers a number of useful features and powerful data process functions to effectively support data acquisition, management, analysis and reporting.

  • Sample application and requirements:

  • IPETRONIK IPEmotion division and Dr. Schetter BMC IGmbH conclude a cooperation contract for IPEmotion acquisition software.

  • With the release of TESTdrive V03.22, all IPETRONIK M-LOG, S-LOG and FLEETlog mobile data acquisition devices now support power-down triggers by a user-defined event, such as the results of an online calculation.

  • IPETRONIK has announced the recent expansion of its successful M-Series measurement modules to include a four-channel RTD (Platinum Pt100) version, the M-RTD2.

  • IPEmotion software offers five different customization features to provide a variety of user-defined software configuration options, which include:

  • The IPEmotion automatic configuration option allows for full scans and checks of all available system hardware. This further allows for all inputs to be set to a standard channel configuration and automatically activated. After connected modules have been initialized, acquired measurement data is displayed both alphanumerically (current values in a channel grid) and graphically (time-related graph in yt diagrams). With these features, the user benefits from a quick and easy overview of all signal values just after the start of measurements, without time- consuming manual configuration.

  • Electrical distribution systems are becoming increasingly more complex, increasing the risk of transient overvoltage, or power spikes, which can potentially damage machinery and equipment, and also, cause human injury. Particularly with power system electronics (i.e., frequency converters, phase angle controllers, trailing-edge phase controllers, and PWM controlled circuit breakers), temporary voltage peaks in combination with inductive loads can be considerably higher than respective nominal voltages.
