Worldwide Field Test and Data Acquisition

Aerodyn provides a complete field test service, offering on-site support at demanding, and often remote test sites. We instrument test articles, route lead wires, configure data acquisition systems, record data, reduce data, and write test reports. AEI conducts tests on aircraft, in test cells, at power stations, aboard ships, and at manufacturing facilities.

Tests are conducted at locations both domestic and international. Test durations range from hours to many months of support. AEI is always ready to go at a moment’s notice when a requirement develops.

ALLIANCE MEMBER

AEI creates LabVIEW™ applications (virtual instruments) customized to the customer’s application needs. Data can be acquired and analyzed real-time, allowing for decisions regarding the test program to be made immediately. Data can be digitized and presented to the customer in electronic format during testing and/or transmitted electronically to off-site engineers for review.

REMOTE MONITORING AND DATA RETRIEVAL

AEI has creative solutions that eliminate the need for on-site personnel to manually transfer data, further reducing costs and allowing the customer to reallocate valuable assets. Data can be retrieved from remote systems via landline, cellular phone, or the Internet. We can create a data logger that automatically e-mails data to off-site personnel. Additionally, we can publish a secure website allowing the customer to view realtime data from anywhere in the world.
