New version available

BK Connect 2025.0

PULSE LabShop 29.0

Product support changes for BK Connect:

Microsoft .NET 7.0, previously used in Team Sharing, is now out of support. Therefore, Team Sharing has been upgraded to use .NET 8.0 to ensure continued performance, security, and stability.

The updated Team Sharing installer will automatically install .NET 8.0 on your machine, if it is not already present.

We highly recommend that all Team Sharing users upgrade to the latest version.

Thank you for your attention and continued support.

Plotting your own parametric reference curve

Team sharing

The Team Server has never been an actual 'server', rather a set of services and tools that utilize a folder, local or shared network, as a file repository for storing files.

There is no database to install or upgrade. No server to write to. The index tools read (never write) files in the repository to create an index on which queries are performed.

To clear up this misconception of an actual server and emphasize the key benefit, we have renamed Team Server to Team Sharing. The name change has been adopted throughout the user interface and in the new editing task, Data task, where you can edit the properties of any BKC file stored in the file repository.

For more information, see the Readme.

New in this release BK Connect

Our engineers are always working to improve software functionality, from new features to better software user experience based on real-world needs, constant testing and user feedback. See our latest innovations and updates below.

  • Additional LAN switches are available to choose from in the Front-end Setup program (Synch Setup dialog), including PTPv2 switches for improved PTP synchronization.

  • All import/export file formats available in Data Viewer Type 8400 license are now available in all applets.

  • New hot keys created for start, stop and reset in the Record and Process task

  • The displays in the Record and Process task improved with Test-based Viewer functionality

  • Added display types and display layouts to Test-based Viewer allowing you to quickly define how test results are displayed and compared

  • Added cancel option with fast and standard displays to stop the display process if your selection includes too many files and signals and thereby takes a long time.

  • Generator fans shut-off automatically when measurement begins

  • The Results Mode subtask used in the Hammer, Shaker and Stepped Sine Setup and Measurement tasks has been revamped for a more user-friendly and efficient interface with stronger display capabilities as known from the Test-based Viewer task.
  • Hot keys have been added to the most used buttons in the Measurement Control in the Hammer, Shaker and Stepped Sine Setup and Measurement tasks.

  • A-weighting on sound pressure time signals is now also implemented for frequency spans below 1.6kHz in the Hammer and Shaker Setup and Measurement tasks.

  •  

  • Support for new Array Microphone Type 4957.

BK Connect Indoor Pass-by, Pass-by SPC and Volume Velocity Measurements

  • Background noise correction and validation can be implemented as per R51 Annex 3 standard, including two new test groups:

  • Background noise before

  • Background noise after

  • Added a 'toggle' button that allows you to show/hide background noise runs in measurement tasks

  • In order to speed up processing, the Indoor Pass-by Set Up task now contains a slimmed-down version of the Test Plan, with only the most minimal of parameters for proper testing according to the standards

  • Pass-by Calculations now include tyre noise calculations to enable a better and seamless support of tyre noise corrections

  • BKCSV-55:Fixed: SIG files can now be imported and exported.

  • BKCSV-146:Fixed: Import of Hdf5 files from HBK Tescia now supported.

  • BKCSV-357:Fixed: The time stamp on exported H5 files is now correct.

  • BKCSV-142:Fixed: Implementation of automatic shut down of generator fans during measurement.

  • BKCSV-113:Fixed: When recording with a GADI signal, chances of buffer overrun reduces if the sampling rate over Gadi interface increases. See the workaround above.

  • BKCSV-311:Fixed: Fast display contour plots of frequency vs RPM of a run-down analysis, using the FFT vs RPM element, now renders correctly including corresponding order cursors.

  • BKCSV-265:Fixed: Edits of markers and regions on recordings persist after reloading the recordings.

  • BKCSV-267:Fixed: The order of time regions in the Project Browser no longer changes when reloading a project.

  • Modal Analysis BKCCRM-971:Fixed: Fixed persistence of selection of FRFs as MIF in Parameter Estimation and Mode Selection tasks. Deselection of FRFs in the function table gives the default display of the Driving Point FRFs.

  • Structural Measurements BKCSV-404:Fixed: Live trigger display in Hammer Trigger setup again functions as intended.

  • Geometry BKCSV-371:Enhancement: Significantly decreased the time to delete nodes and elements in large geometries and added undo/redo deletion functions to the GUI in the process.
