In early 2020, Computer Methods began a collaboration with MECALC to develop the ALI25 transient acquisition module and the PhoenixKonnect software application. Through our partnership we have developed a robust platform for simultaneous transient and streaming data capture.
The PhoenixKonnect application interfaces directly with MECALC mainframes via ethernet, providing a quality platform for measurement of high-speed transient events. Designed using proprietary standards that yield both long-lasting stability and flexibility, MECALC is known for its technological innovations, leading to exceptional signal conditioning and system longevity.
Due to the inherently noisy nature of high-speed data, appropriate sample rates and signal conditioning are vital elements for collection of non-aliased data. Computer Methods and Bodie Technology have partnered to provide Kornucopia® ML™, a MATLAB-based tool for post-processing of PhoenixKonnect data.
Kornucopia directly imports PhoenixKonnect "PKD" files, performing a series of sanity checks to ensure the integrity of the data. The Kornucopia toolbox has over 120 easy-to-use, yet powerful functions to support a comprehensive workflow. Kornucopia ML's tools are designed to improve speed, precision and effectiveness of analyzing transient data.
