BK Connect 2024.0 and PULSE 28.0 updates

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 4.91.1

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.

BKCCRM-707: Supports for hydrophones in Transducer Verification.

BKCCRM-1169: Channel settings will now also be loaded from hardware files to channels where an 'Applied' or 'Detected' devices already exist.

BKCCRM-892: Enhancement: In the sound quality elements of the Process Chain, the following standards are now supported: DIN 45681 Berichtigung 2:2006-08, ISO/TS 20065:2022, ISO 1996-2:2017, ECMA-418-2 and ISO 532-3: 2023.

BKCCRM-988: Enhancement: It is now possible to Average FRF measurements in the Record and Process task.

BKCCRM-1048: Enhancement: In the sound quality elements of the Process Chain, the following standards are now supported: DIN 45681 Berichtigung 2:2006-08, ISO/TS 20065:2022, ISO 1996-2:2017, ECMA-418-2 and ISO 532-3: 2023.

BKCCRM-1167: Fixed: CPB synthesis on FRF data now works properly.

BKCCRM-1299: Fixed: It is possible to set the upper frequency limit in the FIR Filter element of the Process Chain can now be set as low as needed.

BKCCRM-1077: Fixed: It is now possible to save analyzed results of the individual contributions.

BKCCRM-1121: Fixed: The Distance Resolution can now be customized.

BKCCRM-1199: Fixed: Saving a modal project with synthesis functions is now done with the correct units.

BKCCRM-769: Enhancement: Scaling information has been added to exported WAV files.

Support for uEye® camera version 4.91.1

CSV reports from PULSE Front-end Setup's Stability Monitoring has been improved:

• You can log all or only when there are retransmissions.

• The total Sum is calculated from the session start or after a 'clear'.

• The format is changed so you can clearly see each module data and a SUM of each row.

A security upgrade for the license tool, FlexLM toolkit.

Front-end Setup LAB-6536: The Stability report has been improved, both when reports are generated and the report format.

PB-1439: Enhancement: Added support for Tyre Noise Correction according to ISO 362-3 2022.
NOTE: Still under development.

Front-end Setup LAB-6536: The Stability report has been improved, both when reports are generated and the report format.

BK Connect TBKCA-1708: Added support for export of multiple functions into csv files.

BK Connect TBKCA-1689: Windows Update caused crashes when opening About dialog. This is resolved.
