Tescia Repetitive TestingType 8560

Tescia® – Software
for Repetitive Testing
Dynamic testing of large complex machinery such as
gas turbines, with signals from several hundred transducers distributed logically around the test object,demand the use of multichannel data acquisition
systems. Such tests have well‐defined processes andare typically referred to as benchmarking, standard
testing, or repetitive testing.
Tescia Repetitive Testing Type 8560 is the base software
application that makes this kind of testing possible. It is
designed to perform controlled tests on a wide range of
devices and allows you to measure in real time undervarious operating conditions and configurations. It also
allows you to record raw data, and analyse/archive datacollected from these standardised, large‐scale tests.
To help manage the tasks involved, the software follows
a logical workflow and the test process is easy to define
and modify. A complete system that includes therenowned Brüel & Kjær® LAN‐XI data acquisition
hardware and a dedicated PC that can be used in a small
production environment with just one user, or in a larger
system with multiple test and monitoring seats.
As your need grows, channel count and seats can be
expanded to meet the demand.

Other options are available that build on the baseType 8560 application and add capabilities for testing inspecific domains, such as rotating machinery testing,in‐operation conformance check, product protection
testing, ground vibration monitoring, in‐flight vibration
and acoustic test and production/in‐operation testing.

The System
Systems using software for repetitive testing can vary
greatly – from single-user, stand-alone systems that
acquire and process data from a single data acquisition
module on a single laptop, to an extensive system that
acquires data from thousands of channels and distributes the data to multiple computers for processing inreal time.

• Monitoring applications such as on rotatingmachinery, sensitive machinery and floors• Airbone and stuctureborne noise according to
MIL-STD-740 and MIL-STD-1474E• Ground vibration monitoring

The key to Tescia’s scalability comes from theability to mix and match modular data acquisition
hardware and software licences. The ability to combine
multiple licences enables system configurations of
all sizes, ranging from small and portable to very large
and complex.

Together with a LAN-XI data acquisition front end andone or more dedicated PCs, the system acquires the
dynamic data generated by large-scale tests. Real-timemeasurement, analysis and data viewing are supported
as well as data recording analysis and playback. Should
any channel or module develop a fault, the powerfulcombination of the LAN-XI data acquisition hardware andthe software means that operation will continue seamlessly.

At the centre of the Tescia solution is Repetitive TestingType 8560 - base software application that allows you to
perform standardised tests on any product, including
data acquisition, monitoring and analysis, and recording,storage and transfer of data during successive test runs.

Designing the Test
Before performing dynamic tests, it is necessary to
decide how the analysis is to be performed, monitored
and displayed, and where and how the data will be
stored.

Type 8560 can be combined with one (or more) options,to address your testing requirements in the following
areas:• Rotating machinery testing (for example, gas turbine
testing)• In-operation conformance checks• Product protection (for example, during satellite
transportation)• In-flight vibration and acoustic testing• Production and in-operation testing

Test specialists can determine individual test parameters as needed – from defining the acquisition hardware,
applying sensor conditioning, configuring test metrics
and calculations, to setting data access rights,
and determining the structure of data reports andstorage. All parameters for each test type are registeredand implemented via the workbook and/or software GUI,
allowing the test operator to complete his tasks quickly
and easily with good assurance of test repeatability.

Optimised
Workflow Using the Software
Type 8560 is designed to reduce preparation and test
time. For example, one of the tools available is theextensive self-test of the complete hardware system
prior to starting a test. This means that tracking down
potential system issues and identifying failures before
the engine is running can be found much faster thanmanual methods. The results of these self-tests canthen be stored as a table for
future documentation.
Test Setup
Depending on the complexity of the test, test setup canbe performed:• Using the software’s graphical user interface (GUI)• Using the included Microsoft® Excel® workbook.
Simply upload the workbook to the software• Using both the GUI and workbook. For example, startsetting up a test configuration off-line using the workbook, then modify the parameters in the GUI once on-line
Using the workbook to manage the test setup, it ispossible to gain an overview of the test and its parameters without opening the software. This makes it easier
to collaborate, potentially saving time and effort for all
those involved (specialists, stakeholders, design
engineers, test operators, test engineers, etc.). This
off-line access can also optimise the specialist’s time byminimizing the time used on test instrumentation.
For smaller or less complicated tests, using just the GUI
should suffice.
Data Monitoring and Analysis
During the whole test, the signals are monitored todetect abnormal behaviour of the test object and ensureacquisition system integrity.
These automatic system ‘integrity checks’ include:• Under-range• Overload• Cable break• Front-end errors• Communication errors
Simultaneously, you can also monitor and analysevarious functions, ranging from time signals, overall, to
FFT spectra, cross spectra, real-time 1/n-octave andsynthesised 1/n-octave spectra. These can be shown invarious display formats, including:• Time, orbit plots• Spectra, cross spectra• Order spectra, order slices• Bode and polar plots

System Information• Nyquist plots• Contour and Campbell plots• Multiple parameter strip charts• Bar graph• Digital value readouts
While performing a test, it is essential to have access inreal time to specific metrics that will allow you to makeon-the-spot decisions. Metrics are calculated from thefunctions and compared to defined limits. Some metrics
are very simple, such as the vibration level at a given
frequency range, or slightly more complex, such as the
maximum values of a given order in a predefined speed range.
If alarms have been created on a metric, the limits arevisualised in the display by changing colours: yellow fora warning, red for an alarm. If connected, alarms will betransmitted to a relay box, which allows you to abort thetest or adjust parameters as needed.
Analysis can be started and stopped manually.
Alternatively, event-based triggers, such as signal levels,
speed conditions, digital inputs from the test object, 		or any combination of the above, can be set enablingsemi- or fully-automated data recording.
With the main licence (Type 8560), you have thepossibility to create virtual channels to:• Generate virtual (not measured) time signals based on
filtering and mathematical calculation of multiple
measured signals. Examples include: single- anddouble-integration, HP and LP filtering, sum anddifference• Expand the scope and complexity of the metrics,
which can then be calculated and extracted
Data Recording
Gap-free raw data is recorded using a single start/stop
button. Alternatively, event-based triggers can be set
enabling semi- or fully-automated data recording.
Recorded data is accessible for post-processing by othersystems during recording without impacting thein-process recording or monitoring. After the recording,the data can be played back, converted to otherformats, or backed up to external disks.
Data Storage and Transfer
Raw recorded data can be converted from its native PTI
format to DatX, HDF5, or PTI format. Before archiving ortransferring, the data is integrity checked. Any function
data can be exported to Microsoft® Excel® with a single
click.

Getting Right to the Task at Hand
Six main tasks: System Setup, Test Setup, Calibration,
Recording & Monitoring, Playback and Data Handling,
guide you through setup and testing. If parameters areregistered in the workbook, simply upload it to thesoftware and the information is automatically distributed
throughout the user interface. For the test operator, thismeans quick and easy test implementation – with little
or no setup or preparation before testing.

In the System Status panel at the bottom of the GUI,status information is visible at all times for all thesystem components: data acquisition hardware (DAQs),
data viewers, etc. Colour-coding of the panel’s icons
allows quick response to alarms and faults. Clicking on
an icon opens a more detailed view of thatcomponent’s status.

A Calibration task is included, which allows the test
operator to validate the sound pressure transducers inthe system, before and after testing, as required.

The system also has a logbook that records all the main
activities during a test run. It includes an event list andany warnings/alarms that were generated. These details
can then be used to monitor specific events, diagnose
faults or review the test sequence.

The Recording & Monitoring task is the main focus forthe operators. The screens can be customised to showwhat is essential, which is typically the test metadata,
alarms, recording and control buttons, and relevant dataplots. Pages can be created to match the specific test
focus, and these page layouts can be stored, shared andretrieved. Each page in this task can be quickly converted
to a PDF file or printed out.

Data Viewing
Users with Data Viewing licences can view the measured
and analysed functions, set up displays, but cannotchange the analysis set-up (frequency bandwidth,
number of spectra, triggers, etc.), however, display setup
remains fully configurable by the user.

The Playback task allows recorded data to be selected
and played back. In this way, a deeper investigation ofimportant events can be made. The Data Handling task
allows you to view, convert, transfer and archive data
files as required.

Data Processor
Users with Data Processor licences can process data on
multiple independent analysis seats without interferingwith the recording. A Time Stream T-Driver is added to asingle acquisition system, which enables up to 16 Data
Analysis Seats. These seats can operate in real-time
totally autonomously, either local, connected to the same
network as the acquisition system, or remote.

Safe Testing
Monitoring the status of the test object and the acquisition system during the complete test (in real time)further increases the test efficiency and the data quality.

case of operating degradation or failure of the engine,either manually (or automatically) when defined levels
are exceeded.
Alarms can be transferred to a physical relay box, whichallows you to abort the test or adjust the test parameters. The relay box also provides digital logical inputs
allowing you, for example, to use the bench control
system for trigger purposes.

You can also ensure that the test system is working andthe test object is not damaged during the test session.
Several test-specific parameters (metrics) can bemonitored in real time allowing you to abort the tests inModular Front Ends with LAN-XI
Data Acquisition Hardware
The system front end, based on LAN-XI hardware,
provides unequalled dynamic range and accuracy, and isvery robust mechanically and electronically with built-in(and documented) analogue and digital calibration tests.

When included in a system for repetitive testing, thehardware can collect, synchronise and record datafrom one to thousands of transducers connected to thedata acquisition front end.

LAN-XI is a versatile platform of modular hardware forreal-time sound, vibration and dynamic data
parameter acquisition. Single modules can be used as
stand-alone front ends or as part of a distributed
setup. Multiple modules can be collected in frames, andframes can be collected in racks either of which
can be used as stand-alone front ends, or as part of a
distributed setup.

Single Data Acquisition System with Data Viewing andData Processing, Configuration 3
It is possible to build even bigger configurations. You
can increase the number of test participants by adding
licenses for adding additional real-time analysis
capability and monitoring on up to 16 additional computers.
The computer becomes a Data Processor by choosing
the BZ-1022 Time Stream T-driver license instead offront-end driver license (BZ-1020 or BZ-1021).
Each Data Processor has the same analysis possibilities
as the main data acquisition system. The available
analysis depends on installed options.

The system includes:• Front-end driver: 1 × BZ-1020: Driver for 1 to 132
front-end modules or 1 × BZ-1021: Driver for 1 to 5
front-end modules• Test software: 1 × Type 8560 and any of the following
options: BZ-1001, BZ-1002, BZ-1003, BZ-1004,
BZ-1005, BZ-1008• Data viewing: 1 × BZ-1010 (1 to 16, one licence per PC)• Test software: 1 × Type 8560 (one licence per PC) andany of the following options: BZ-1001, BZ-1002,
BZ-1003, BZ-1004, BZ-1005, BZ-1008• Front-end driver: 1 × BZ-1022: Time Stream T-Driver(0 to 16)
• PC with Microsoft Windows operating system, remote
desktop to a Data Processor(s)Fig. 6 Data Viewing Seatsand Data Processing

data acquisition systemcollecting data from thefront-end

Licencing
Licencing has been designed to provide simplified
configuration of the most complex setups. The basic
licence is Tescia Repetitive Testing Type 8560 software,
which is the universal tool for any type of
Fig. 7 Licence example forremote data viewing anddata processing - up to
16 data viewing stations
and up to 16 data processing
stations can be configured

standardised repetitive testing.
You can then configure your system with the required
number of channels and test and viewer seats, then add
more specific applications and functionality as needed.
