Introduction
The CoCo-80 (CoCo) is a handheld data recorder, dynamic signal analyzer, and
vibration data collector that is ideal for a wide range of industries including
automotive, aviation, aerospace, electronics, and military applications that
demand easy, quick, and accurate data recording and real-time processing in the
field. The CoCo is a low-cost, light-weight, battery powered handheld system with
unparalleled performance and accuracy. The user interface of the CoCo is
specifically designed to simplify its operation while maintaining the capability of
providing a wide variety of analysis functions.
The CoCo hardware platform supports two different software working modes:
Dynamic Signal Analyzer (DSA) and Vibration Data Collector (VDC). Each
working mode has its own user interface and operation navigation structure. The
DSA working mode is designed for mechanical structure analysis, testing, and
optimization for electrical, geophysics, and a wide range of other applications. The
VDC mode is dedicated to machine vibration data collection, analysis, and
trending. This manual will focus on the basic functions of the CoCo and EDM
used in DSA mode.
Figure 1: CoCo Hardware
The CoCo is the first battery powered handheld data acquisition system that
matches the performance and functionality of high-end systems. The CoCo is
equipped with 2, 4, 8, or 16 input channels and can accurately measure and
record both dynamic and static signals. The mass flash memory can record 8
channels of streaming signals simultaneously up to 102.4 kHz. An embedded
signal source channel provides various signal output waveforms that are
synchronized with the input sampling rate.
The CoCo utilizes a dual CPU architecture. An XScale CPU handles the user
interface, project configuration, power management, network communication,
and all the peripherals. A high-speed floating point DSP manages the data
input/output and real-time processing. The CoCo is also configured with large
