The front of the new Klippel Analyzer 3, or KA3
The Klippel R&D measurement system is comprised of a Klippel Analyzer 3 (KA3) and software modules. The KA3 accepts inputs from laser displacement sensors,
microphones and other accessories which are exclusively available from Warkwyn.
To make the system cost-effective, the measurement capabilities are based on individual software modules dedicated to certain measurement types. A KA3 without any software modules will not measure anything.
The “operating system” of the Klippel R&D environment is called dB-Lab. All the other software modules run in dB-Lab making it a necessary component of an R&D system. The dB-Lab license term is permanent, although there is a modest upgrade fee for major software revisions; minor revisions are free. dB Labs is not available for iOS devices
Software modules are available for different types of measurements. For example, if you want to measure small signal parameters (Thiele-Small & etc.) you would need the LPM (Linear Parameter Measurement) module. Like dB-Lab, once purchased the LPM and all other software module licenses are yours forever.
Of course you probably want to measure more than just the small signal parameters, so you would require additional software modules. Most of our customers purchase the LPM module and the LSI module at a minimum. The LSI (Large Signal Identification) measures the large signal performance of a transducer.
