In-Depth Overview
PLACID Studio is measurement, analysis and reporting software that turns the PQ401-B four-channel data acquisition unit into a complete sound and vibration analyzer. Connect over Ethernet, assign calibrated sensors to the four BNC inputs and measure in real time: sound level, octave bands, FFT, sound power, sound intensity, room acoustics, machine condition, human vibration and modal analysis. Every recording is kept in the project, so each measurement can be analysed again later and exported. Four channels at up to 192 kS/s per channel, live and post-processing, Windows 10/11. Supplied with the Sound Level Meter and Basic Vibration modules as standard; further analysis modules are available as options. Placid Asia is the authorized distributor for Thailand and ASEAN.
