BK Connect 2024.0 and PULSE 28.0 updates

You will experience general enhancements throughout the PULSE and BK Connect platform as well as several critical bug fixes and new releases.

BK Connect Roles 2x2 Small
June 24, 2024

Product support changes for BK Connect:

Microsoft .NET 7.0, previously used in Team Server, is now out of support. Therefore, Team Server has been upgraded to use .NET 8.0 to ensure continued performance, security, and stability.

The updated Team Server installer will automatically install .NET 8.0 on your machine, if it is not already present.

We highly recommend that all Team Server users upgrade to the latest version (build 28.0.0.275).

Thank you for your attention and continued support.

  • Validate and compare your results as you test with Test-based Viewer The purpose of the Viewer is to provide you with quick and easy tools to view data during testing (recording and measuring) for validation and comparison.

  • Now possible to average FRF measurements in Record and Process task.

  • Order analysis is now under one license: Type 8405 E. This means that you only need Type 8405 E for rpm-based processing, order analysis using fixed bandwidth FFT and tracked order analysis, which previously required a separate Type 8405 F license.

  • Expanded support of tonal metrics standards for sound quality evaluations using the SQ Metrics and SQ Metrics vs Time process chain elements. Additional support for:

    • DIN 45681 Berichtigung 2:2006-08

    • ISO/TS 20065:2022

    • ISO 1996-2:2017

    • ECMA-418-2

  • The maximum number of LAN-XI front ends that are supported with a Type 8401 license has increased from 2 to 5. As always, two Type 8401 licenses can be stacked together to provide unlimited module access.

  • Improved support for hydrophone calibration.

  • Improved notifications and additional alerts when there are problems in loading hardware setups.

  • The Clear button in the HW Setup Table has temporarily been removed. Use instead the Disconnect and Reconnect buttons in the Hardware Browser.

  • The functionality previously only available in a Type 8400 B license has now been moved to the base Data Viewer Type 8400 license. This means you only need Type 8400 for:

    • File import of any format used natively by Brüel & Kjær applications, as well as universal files: *.unv, *.uff (time and function data) and wave files: *.wav (time data)

    • Import from LabShop and Import from PULSE Data Manager (PDM) tasks.

    • Export to PDM

    • Export to Excel

  • Support for tyre noise correction according to ISO 362-3:2022, which is the 4-coefficient method, instead of 5, and uses air temperature for corrections.

  • CSV export for any analyzed additional signals, in addition to the pass-by signals.

  • Swept sine measurement implemented in the Shaker Setup and Shaker Measurement tasks.
    Swept sine measurements are performed by continuously sweeping a sinusoidal excitation through a frequency range of interest. It is used for various purposes such as linearity studies, resonance testing and modal analysis.

  • Validate and compare your results as you test with the Test-based Viewer in the Modal Analysis application.

  • DOF selection and deselection in a mode table is now reflected in the animation and in the calculated MAC and orthogonality plots and tables. Easy multiple (de)selections allow for the investigation of the contribution of different structural components.

  • Support for uEye® camera version 4.96.1

  • Scaling information has been added to exported WAV files.

  • Updated Team Server, Team Server 2.0, which brings important improvements focusing on enhanced messaging and services resilience

    • Message Broker Upgrade: RabbitMQ and Erlang have been replaced with Apache MQ Artemis to simplify installation and improve maintainability.

    • Enhanced messaging component: The Team Server messaging component has been completely rewritten to deliver better performance and reliable message handling.

    • Message Prioritization: Support for message priorities has been introduced to promptly handle important file repository operations.

    • Team Server Services: Team Server services are improved and are more resilient to ensure smoother data indexing.

  • Improved fast displays:

    • Streamed data can now be overlaid (all or per unit).

    • Displays can be stacked vertically (along the y-axis) with a shared x-axis and readout.

  • Improved support of hydrophones with user-defined dB references, where you can use the physical quantity as a condition for selecting the dB reference. This allows you to differentiate between, for example µPa with a sound pressure signal and µPa for sound pressure in water using a hydrophone.
