Automated laser vibrometer measurements

Do you want to make your tests in research and development more efficient? With the integrated macro language of Polytec system software, you can automate measurements and evaluations. The easy-to-use Basic® macro language gives you access to all important functions in an object-oriented programming environment. For example, the macros set measurement settings, start measurements, apply mathematical operators to the measurement data, write them to files or to a separate channel ("User defined data set") of the measurement file. Batch processing of your measurement data is also possible. The use of macros significantly increases the productivity of your Polytec measurement system.

In your research department, if you value the flexibility of established programming tools such as MATLAB or Python, you can seamlessly integrate with the Polytec system software to control the measurement system via a COM/DCOM interface. Well-documented objects and methods can be easily incorporated into your code. Full access to measurement data, including all properties such as geometry and measurement parameters, is provided through the freely available API Polytec File Access. Extensive object references and example programs make it easy to get started quickly.
