Hard Disk Vibration Test with USB DAQ Device

Notas de Aplicação

Portable entertainment devices have been gaining popularity in the past few years. This increasing demand, particularly as it involves hard-disk-based portable storage devices, presents a huge market for providing a fast and inexpensive manufacturing test.

Vibration Test Setup

Vibration testing is required for the hard disk. Humidity and temperature-measurement tests can also be carried out. As these measurements are different in nature, you may need three different transducers. Hence, it is recommended that the Keysight USB Data Acquisition (DAQ) device be used for this application. By using the Keysight USB DAQ device, you can measure the voltage directly and, at the same time, use a current transducer to measure the current. The current transducer will convert the current to voltage signal and send this to the DAQ device. After that, the data is displayed and analyzed on the PC.
