The  Vericom  V-Sense

TM

  series  of  data  acquisition  instruments  and  Profile  X1

©

  analysis  software  is  a 

combination of sensor instrumentation and analysis software that offers significant flexibility for testing 
nearly any moving object or vibration application.  If you can find a way to attach the V-Sense POD to the 
test object, you can quickly and easily collect the targeted data (for many applications, the heavy-duty 
vacuum cup mounting system provided with the package is the perfect option for mounting the sensor 
unit).  The test files are then analyzed with the Vericom Profile X1 analysis software.  Vericom Profile X1 
is also very easy to use 

 yet very sophisticated and powerful.  Optionally, you can elect to add up to 12 

external analog sensors to the V-Sense POD for collection of a wide variety of data from almost any low 
voltage analog sensor (0-5v).

Vericom V-Sense Director application.  It is also preconfigured to connect to the V-Sense POD included 
within the case.  While 1 tablet can be configured to connect to multiple V-Sense PODs, it is recommended 
that the tablet and POD that shipped together are repacked in the same case.  To connect the tablet/PC 
to the V-Sense POD with the Bluetooth, power on the POD and then open the Tools screen on the Vericom 
V-Sense  Director  app  (tablet)  or  Profile  X1  (PC).    From  the  drop-down  box,  select  the  POD  for  the
