Vibreshark

Current Version: 0.28.1

Overview

Vibreshark is ReVibe Energy’s desktop application for high-precision vibration data acquisition, visualization, and analysis. It connects to ANURA wireless vibration sensors—either directly over your computer’s built-in Bluetooth, or via a TR11-USB transceiver for time-synchronized measurements across up to 8 sensors at once.

Vibreshark is used for Factory/Site Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT), diagnostics, machine commissioning, mechanical design validation, and maintenance rounds.

Vibreshark Basic - Part Number: 70010
Vibreshark Advanced - subscription license

Supported Platforms

Vibreshark runs on Windows.

Connecting to Sensors

  • Direct Bluetooth - connects to a single sensor using the computer’s built-in Bluetooth hardware. The maximum number of simultaneously connected sensors depends on the computer’s Bluetooth hardware.

  • TR11-USB Transceiver - connects to up to 8 sensors at once, with time synchronization to within <5 μs between sensors.

Licensing

Sensors

Vibreshark Basic

Free (included with sensor purchase)

1 sensor connected via Bluetooth or TR11-USB.

Vibreshark Advanced

Subscription license (€1,575/year)

Up to 8 sensors connected via Bluetooth or TR11-USB. Time-synchronized measurement requires TR11-USB.

A license key is required to use Vibreshark, including the free Basic tier—see revibeenergy.com/vibreshark to request one.

Note

For a detailed side-by-side comparison of specific features (waveform/orbit dimensions, aggregated values, export formats) between Vibreshark Basic, Vibreshark Advanced, and ANURA Connect, see the ANURA Connect page.

Views & Features

  • Timeline - every connected sensor gets its own lane of snippets, for quick playback and navigation

  • Waveform - acceleration, velocity, or displacement signals, with clipped portions shown in a muted color

  • FFT - frequency spectrum, with auto-ranging on the Y axis

  • Orbit - displacement, velocity, or acceleration “orbits,” with a plane selector (XY, YZ, XZ) and an optional idealized ellipse overlay (adds stroke length and stroke angle to the Property Table)

  • Property Table - structured, sortable table of calculated values (RMS, peak acceleration, stroke measurements, and more) across multiple sensors, supporting copy/paste and row/column transpose

  • Reports - color-coded by sensor for easy visual correlation

Export

Recordings can be exported as .vibe session files (which can also be opened directly in ANURA Connect-recorded sessions) or as CSV. A dedicated export dialog lets you select data from multiple sensors and export it in one go.

Firmware Updates

Sensor firmware can be updated from Help → Update Sensors. This requires a computer with Bluetooth and cannot be done while a measurement session is in progress.

What’s New in 0.28.1

  • Open files from the command line - Vibreshark can be started directly with a .vibe file, for automating signal file processing workflows

  • .vibe file association - double-click a .vibe file to open it directly in Vibreshark

  • OS trust store for license checks - license checks now work for users behind an HTTP proxy, such as in a corporate environment

  • Log files - for easier troubleshooting
