=Installation guide=
Thank you for purchasing Modal software.
'''Modal '''is a dedicated tool for processing a comprehensive modal analysis.
Some tools are available to create your modal project from the beginning to the end.
Start with the construction of the geometry and the acquisition of data in an optimized window.
After these first steps, continue naturally by displaying very quickly Operating Deflection '''S'''hapes. Finally, with the powerful algorithms proposed, modal parameters: frequencies, damping, mode shapes can be easily obtained from either modal data or operating data.
This "'''INSTALLATION GUIDE'''" will help you to install and run the '''Modal''' software.
For getting detailed information on the software, you can go and visit the Online Help embedded within the software. For beginning to use your new modal software, you can follow the instructions in the <nowiki>’</nowiki>Getting Started<nowiki>’</nowiki> document installed simultaneous to the software.

Finally the following window is displayed
[[Image:Modal_Manual_17.png|framed|none]]
Click on <nowiki>’</nowiki>file<nowiki>’</nowiki> in the menu toolbar and on <nowiki>’</nowiki>open workspace<nowiki>’</nowiki>.
For the first time you can open one of existing projects installed at the same time than the software in the directory <nowiki>’</nowiki>examples<nowiki>’</nowiki>.
There are:
- 4 different projects for Experimental Modal Analysis
- 2 different projects for Operational Modal Analysis
[[Image:Modal_Manual_18.png|framed|none]]
[[Image:Modal_Manual_19.png|framed|none]]
The main interface of the software is so displayed.
The window is shared in four distinct parts. Each of them has their own utilities.
[[Image:Modal_Manual_20.png|framed|none]]
'''Workspace panel''' contains:
## an operation tree organized as a wizard to follow the different steps of a modal analysis
## a data tree where you can fine all the data and results imported or calculated in the opened project.
'''Activated window''' can display:
## 2D windows: time domain data, FRFs estimation, curve-fitting…
## 3D windows: geometry, mode shapes.
'''Output Panel''' displays the last calculated results.
'''Control Panel''' contains the different commands and functions respectively useful for 2D and 3D windows.

==Upgrade procedure==
===Upgrades available===
Several upgrade possibilities are available for this software. If you have already purchased a version of Modal and that you want to acquire other options several possibilities can be proposed to you.
Upgrades:
## ORNVS-MOD330u: ORNVS-MOD300 to ORNVS-MOD300
''Add EMA SIMO Identification method''
## ORNVS-MOD350u: ORNVS-MOD330 to ORNVS-MOD350
''Add EMA MIMO Identification methods''
Options
## ORNVS-MOD200: Acquisition available on all OROS 3-Series analyzers
''Option allowing to do acquisition directly in Modal''
## ORNVS-MOD180: OMA (Option to ORNVS-MOD300 or ORNVS-MOD330)
''Add OMA Identification method''
===Upgrade procedure===
====Upgrade order====
If you order one of upgrades or options described above, a procedure should be followed:
Indeed, the number of the dongle is necessary to upgrade it.
You could find the number of your dongle directly written on it.
Please communicate it to OROS with your order simultaneously.
====Software upgrade====
- Uninstall the previous version of Modal installed on the PC:
Insert the CD in the appropriate driver and wait for the Autorun program (or run the "setup.exe" program from the CD).
The following window is displayed:
[[Image:Modal_Manual_21.png|framed|none]]
Click on Remove.
The following window is displayed:
[[Image:Modal_Manual_22.png|framed|none]]
Click on remove.
The following window is displayed.
[[Image:Modal_Manual_23.png|framed|none]]
Wait during this window is displayed.
[[Image:Modal_Manual_24.png|framed|none]]
Click on finish.
Start the installation of the new version
Please follow the procedure described from page 8 to page 13.
====Dongle upgrade====
Following your upgrade order, you will receive an upgrade file from OROS (.upg).
At this time open the DogInst application
The following window is displayed

==Introduction==


Modal test and analysis is used to determine the engineering structures<nowiki>’</nowiki> modal parameters, such as modal frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes. The measured excitation and response (or only response) data are utilized in modal analysis, and then dynamic signal analysis and modal parameters identification are processed. The modal test and analysis has been developed for more than three decades, and much progresses have been made. It has been widely applied to the engineering filed, such as the dynamic design, manufacture and maintenance, vibration and noise reduction, vibration control, condition monitoring, fault detection, model updating and model validation.
