As part of an effort to support data acquisition, SDTools has developed a SDT based driver that supports data acquisition with the Photon system developed by Dactron.

The current prototype of this driver lets you modify acquisition parameters of the Photon and acquire multiple frames to generate H1 and H2 FRF estimates. It has been used to support lab-work for a modal analysis course given at Ecole Centrale Paris.

 

 

You can download the driver from ftp.sdtools.com/contrib/photon.m. Required software are SDT 5.0 and the Active-X API from Dactron.
