Kistler LabAmp Measurement Module extended
The Kistler LabAmp measurement module now offers a ring buffer mode. With this option, the last measured values are held in a buffer of a definable time range whereas the oldest values are overwritten by the new values. This way, not the whole measurement is recorded but it can be monitored continuously. The buffer mode enables long-time measurements without memory problems.
ISO-MME-Code Translator
In the jBEAM Crash Edition, the ISO-MME-Code Translator is now available in the main menu (previously only via Crash Assistant window). When working with MME data, this tool helps in pasting and analyzing existing channel names as well as creating and copying new channel names according to ISO-MME code. The window is non-blocking, allowing the user to utilize it from different editors like importers, calculations, and more.
Datasource-Manager: Marker policy changed
When creating new data sources in the Datasource-Manager, markers are not activated by default anymore. Drawing markers is time-consuming when large datasets are involved, and curves may be hidden behind too many markers. If desired, markers can be activated manually by using the checkbox in the "Curve properties" column.
New Importer: Elsys TranAX (TPC5)
This new import component reads data in TPC5 format which is used for data acquisition by the TranAX software by Elsys DAQs. The importer is initially available as Beta status in all jBEAM Lab variants. It imports measurement data and selected metadata and supports also channel mapping and unit replacement.
Kistler maXYmos Importer extended
The Kistler maXYmos Importer left the Beta status and is now as stable version with revised name available in all jBEAM editions. More EOs like LINE-X, LINE-Y and NO-PASS have been added. Visualization is made easier as the whole importer can be ‘drag and dropped’ into the Graphic window, and complete graphs with signals and corresponding EOs are created.
New Crash Calculation: FxFz Criterion
The FxFz criterion assesses neck injuries. It can be used for various NCAP and IIHS ratings. The component provides preconfigured force limit curves depending on the selected regulation. The results comprise also the maximum values for shear and tension and can be visualized quickly by Drag&Drop in a standard view displaying the evaluation curves and the max points.
New Crash Calculation: Occupant Load Criterion
This criterion is typically applied to an acceleration channel in a frontal impact scenario, e.g. for vehicle or sled tests. The component provides preconfigured inputs for initial velocity, free flight displacement, and total displacement which can also be customized via manual input or data objects.
New Crash Calculation: Crash Resultant
This new Crash calculation enables advanced resultant calculations, e.g. for analyzing forces on the acetabulum. It is capable of handling both 2D and 3D data. The component provides specialized dimension handling for considering only positive or negative values and it also includes an option to set the resultant to zero for specific dimensions. The input signals can be configured manually or according to regulations.
Extended Crash Calculations (TI, VC)
The Tibia-Index calculation now additionally calculates the x-value (time) and optional all injury values, bending moment, ratio force and ratio moment. It also supports NCAP and IIHS regulations. New dummy types have been added: TH, TM, and TF.
The Viscous Criterion now also supports new dummy types: Y6 and Y7 child dummies.
Zoom-dependent marker in Line/Points diagram
To improve clarity and performance of the Line/Points diagram, the new marker option "zoom dependent" has been added. With this option, an optimized mode is used to display markers based on the zoom level. Especially for channels with many values, markers are omitted as long as the available space does not allow a balanced view. Only by zooming in, markers become visible. This functionality can be enabled or disabled via checkbox in the editor.
New Importer: Kistler Handheld 5811A
This new import component reads recordings in CSV files generated by Kistler Handheld devices like 5811A00 and 5811A01. For now, the importer is available as Beta status in the jBEAM Lab Professional edition. Especially in combination with jBEAM viewer and template protection, tailored solutions for typical use cases of handheld devices such as service, monitoring and quality assurance can be offered.
New Import Component: JDBC (SQL) Database
This prototype component is intended to import data from any JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) compliant database like MySQL, MS Access, SQLite or PostgreSQL. The component performs an SQL query and provides the matching results as data objects. The SQL query can contain data object references in embedded formula expressions and in this case is executed automatically when the input data changes.
