Legacy

For over 25 years, VTI's mission critical data acquisition solutions have been used to monitor and record data that characterizes the physical integrity and performance of aircraft, engines, large structures, and complex electronic systems. Our legacy of innovation and our reputation as the Gold Standard in a wide range of applications, from critical infrastructure to flight safety and troop security, defines our ongoing commitment to product performance and quality.


Corporate-Wide Application Coverage

The SentinelEX Integrated Data Acquisition Family is capable of delivering complete corporate-wide coverage spanning a broad range of applications and measurement types. VTI’s turnkey approach to scalable, distributable, and customizable modular data acquisition solutions provides our customers with the flexibility to tailor their data acquisition system to their specific test requirements while minimizing the uncertainty traditionally inherent in piecing together a test system.

• Open architecture configurability and synthetic instrument (FPGA) customization
• Unmatched signal integrity and measurement performance
• Speeds ranging from dynamic, high-speed to steady state
• Applications ranging from several channels to thousands of channels
• Cloud data management
• Complete application space coverage regardless of the type of measurement or transducer

Unrivaled Accuracy

VTI leads the industry in measurement performance from best-in-class static structural and temperature measurement to VTI’s latest 4th generation Dynamic Signal Analysis (DSA) instrumentation (testing NVH, Modal, Acoustic, Vibration, Pyroshock and more). The SentinelEX family leverages a rich history of focusing on noise reduction and analog signal fidelity to deliver accurate and repeatable data.




Distributed Data Acquisition

Precision distributed measurement synchronization is accomplished utilizing IEEE 1588 (precision time protocol) ensuring that test data is time correlated, whether the instrumentation is centrally located or distributed around the test article for closer transducer proximity and higher accuracy.




Turnkey Software and Industry Standard Drivers

VTI provides numerous turnkey and customizable software packages for the SentinelEX series ranging from general data logging to top industry analysis in Modal, Acoustics, and NVH. The SentinelEX product family delivers complete application space coverage with solutions designed to meet challenging, and changing data acquisition requirements. Industry standard drivers and open application programming interfaces provide the flexibility and freedom of choice to select the environment best suited to the specific development requirements.
