#2 Maximum Likelihood estimation of the Modal Model (MLMM)

The Maximum Likelihood estimation of the Modal Model (MLMM), a brand new advanced modal parameter estimator will use an iterative approach to find modal parameters that generate the best fit within the measured FRFs. This is particularly handy in the acoustic modal analysis of interior vehicle cavities, for instance.

#3 New revolutions per minute (RPM) spike filter

Have unwanted spikes in your RPM signals due to dirt or other issues?  Remove them with the new RPM spike filter.
