NexGen Ergonomics Announces Vibration Analysis Toolset™ Version 4.0

Montreal, August 18, 2018 -- NexGen Ergonomics Inc. (NexGen) is pleased to announce the release of VATS™ (Vibration Analysis ToolSet) Version 4.0. Our VATS system includes a multi-channel DataLOG data logger with 2 GB memory than can sample up to 20 kHz per channel and our advanced VATS software. Up to 4 DataLOG units can be synchronized for a total of 32 analog channels.

The software has been completely redesigned and is a complete new software product. Some of the new features include:

• A new properties function has been added to set your default settings for the various tools.
• Customers can make multiple data selections in the raw data view. These selections can then be saved and users have the ability to load them again for further analysis.
• A new processing module for the revised ISO 2631-5 2018 standard has been added.
• Customers can now set an offset automatically.
• You can now select what data to be exported and in which formats [HTML PDF, CSV and Plain Text (txt)].
• In the FFT panel, the FFT is now applied to the entire selected data.
• You can now change the time history window size (in seconds) for the selected algorithm (Whole Body: ISO2631-1, ACGIH and BS 6841; and Hand-Arm: ISO 5349, ACGIH)

VATS is available for either hand-arm or whole body analysis. Hand-arm vibration analysis is based on the ISO 5349 and ACGIH standard for hand arm vibration (HAV). Whole body vibration analysis is based on the ISO 2631-1, 2631-5 (2004 and 2018), BS 6841, and ACGIH standard for whole body vibration (WBV).

VATS software is also available as a stand-alone software product to import acceleration data to be analyzed from other systems.
