Data acquisition and analysis for vehicle NVH testing with KiNOVA and KiSUITE

As new automotive engineering paradigms take shape, NVH experts need the right tools to reliably acquire and freely postprocess testing data. The KiNOVA product line from Kistler meets this need. High-precision data acquisition hardware systems with complete freedom for engineers to customize and automate data analysis processes – the efficient way to gain new insights.

Data acquisition hardware KiNOVA

KiNOVA – the data acquisition hardware for vehicle NVH applications – is available in three formats. 

KiNOVA Lite is the engineer's ultra-portable companion when up to four input signals need to be captured on the spot. Despite its compact dimensions, KiNOVA Lite delivers uncompromising accuracy thanks to its outstanding signal acquisition capabilities.

For more demanding applications, KiNOVA Pro offers higher levels of flexibility and performance. This hardware can be customized with a variety of cards and up to 32 channels per device. Multiple units can be daisy-chained to deliver even more measurement capability. And in almost every environment, KiNOVA Pro's built-in internal data storage and battery enable standalone operation with no need for additional modules.

For high channel count applications, KiNOVA XL data acquisition hardware allows hosting of up to 96 channels per chassis; it can also be rack-mounted to reach more than 1,000 channels – an ideal configuration in a laboratory or next to a test bench. Thanks to its internal processor and storage, KiNOVA XL Plus is also the solution of choice whenever mobility is a key need: users can perform high channel count NVH testing for in-vehicle/on-the-road applications, with the possibility of operation in standalone mode.

KiSUITE is Kistler's data analysis software for NVH testing, providing engineers with unlimited flexibility and a vast range of functionalities. KiSUITE complements and synergizes with the KiNOVA data acquisition hardware. 

KiSUITE Analysis is the powerful yet intuitive platform for NVH data analysis and workflow customization. Thanks to an impressive range of functions, users can perform almost every imaginable data operation. KiSUITE Analysis is also ideal for automating customized workflows and generating consistent post-measurement reports.

Users have immense scope thanks to over 220 functions, such as: basic and advanced math and calculus operations, filtering, tacho analysis, spectral calculations, time domain analysis, signal generation and manipulation, probability and statistic assessments, trend analysis – and much more.
All this, delivered with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface: KiSUITE Analysis is the key to gaining unlimited insights from your measured data.

You can choose from a range of application-oriented modules to complement and enrich KiSUITE Analysis. Navigate the tabs below to discover the module that best suits your application. Each of them extends the functionalities of KiSUITE Analysis to build a flexible yet powerful platform for NVH analysis.
