Seismic Testing

Shake Table Controller

DANCE: Digital Seismic Shake Table Controller for 1-6 DOF Systems

‍DANCE is a PC-based software suite designed to address the unique requirements of seismic shake table testing.

• Transient (seismic) testing i.e. IEEE-344, AC-156, GR-63
• Sine Sweep, Sine Beat, Sine Stress Testing
• Generator for spectrum compatible time histories (see SPECTIME)
• Semi automatic and manual equalization matching to required response spectra
• Performs IEEE-344 independence and stationary checks
• Up to 200 data acquisition channels
• Integrated self calibration utility
• Integrated automatic MS Office report generation module
