The Automotive Test Solutions iVA Intelligent Vibration Analyzer, No. IVA3000, uses Quad Vibration Technology (QVT) to locate and identify the vibration, then rates the vibration severity with advanced color coding in yellow, orange, and red. The graphs and charts can be easily accessible at any time. The iVA can locate multiple vehicle vibrations simultaneously and connects to most vehicles in under five minutes, the company says. The kit comes with an intelligent vibration analyzer, four smart vibration sensors, one iVA microphone, four iVA microphone clamps, four iVA stereo jack cables, an iVA DLC cable, four iVA c-clamps, an iVA USB cable, an iVA USB software card, an iVA tape measure, and iVA pressure-sensitive tape.
Application
The Automotive Test Solutions iVA Intelligent Vibration Analyzer, No. IVA3000, is designed to accurately locate and identify which components(s) are creating vibration or noise issues on the vehicle quickly.

• Setup takes less than five minutes in most cases, the company says.
• No hidden add-ons.
• Free software updates for one year.
Origin
The company understands that vehicle vibration and noise problems can be difficult and time consuming for a shop to repair, noting that the shop will typically change parts until the problem is corrected. The iVA provides a method to locate the root cause of vibration and noise problems quickly and accurately.
Manufacturing/engineering specifications
The iVA is made in the U.S.A. The iVA Module houses an advanced electronic system that contains a Data Acquisition Device (DAQ) for sampling the signals from the Smart Vibration Sensors and iVA microphone. The iVA Module also contains a Vehicle Communications Interface that communicates with vehicle engine control modules from 1996 to present. Communication bus types supported: J1850 VPW, J1850 MPW, J1850 PWM with IFR, ISO 9141-2, KPW2000, KPW2000 Slow init, and CAN7.
The Smart Vibration Sensor uses multiple three-axis accelerometers (X, Y, and Z) to locate vibrating components. When four vibration sensors are used, the iVA DAQ can monitor 12 accelerometer axes continuously.
Storage and display
The product comes in one plastic enclosure and weighs 10.8 lbs.
