About Prosig

Prosig is a UK specialist in noise and vibration measurement whose DATS software and portable acquisition hardware are used for NVH, structural dynamics and machinery diagnostics. Staff from the University of Southampton’s Institute of Sound & Vibration Research (ISVR) founded the company in 1977, and development and support are still run from Fareham, Hampshire.

Since 2014 Prosig has belonged to the privately held UK group now known as Condition Monitoring Technology Group (CMTG), whose sister brands include Helitune, Beran and DJB Instruments. The group connection gives Prosig matching accelerometers and a broader engineering base.

What Prosig makes

DATS sits at the center of the product line: one environment for data capture, signal processing, visualization and reporting. Its visual worksheet approach lets engineers build repeatable analysis routines without writing code, then run them on data from any Prosig front end.

The hardware scales with the job. A pocket-sized DATS-solo handles quick diagnostics and hammer testing. DATS-P8012 and DATS-tetrad systems cover in-vehicle and field work on battery or vehicle power, and stackable DATS-hyper12 units build out high-channel-count structural and powertrain tests. DATS-CANetic brings vehicle CAN data into the same timeline as accelerometer and microphone channels.

Analysis modules address order tracking, torsional vibration, modal parameter extraction, transfer path analysis, fatigue life and human response to vibration. For power generation, the permanently installed PROTOR system monitors turbine generators and auxiliary machinery online.

Why engineers specify Prosig

  • Standards support. DATS applies the weightings required by ISO 2631, ISO 5349 and ISO 8041, and supports building vibration assessments referencing DIN 4150-2.
  • Lab-to-field consistency. The same software runs a four-channel troubleshooting kit and a test with more than a thousand channels.
  • Signal-processing depth. Nearly five decades of in-house algorithm development, with roots in academic acoustics research.
  • Practical services. Prosig offers training, equipment rental and consulting, plus free educational resources such as its Noise & Vibration Measurement Handbook.

Local support from Vaughn Associates

Noise and vibration testing shows up across the Southeast: automotive plants and suppliers along the Southeast automotive corridor, aerospace and defense programs around Huntsville, and power generation sites throughout the region. Vaughn Associates represents Prosig in all of its territories.

We help test engineers define channel counts, sensor types and analysis modules, coordinate demonstrations and quotes with Prosig, and stay engaged after delivery. Whether the job is a one-off resonance problem or a multichannel durability program, we work to match the system to the test.

FAQ

Common questions about Prosig

Is Prosig still in business, and who owns it?

Yes. Prosig was founded in 1977 by specialists from the University of Southampton's Institute of Sound & Vibration Research. Condition Monitoring Group acquired the company in July 2014, and that group renamed itself Condition Monitoring Technology Group (CMTG) in March 2022. Prosig continues to operate under its own brand from Fareham, UK, and released DATS software version 7.1.2 in June 2026.

What replaced the Prosig P8000 and P8004 data acquisition hardware?

Current Prosig hardware carries the DATS name. The DATS-solo has 4 inputs, the DATS-P8012 up to 24 inputs plus two tachometers, the DATS-tetrad up to 32 inputs, and the DATS-hyper12 up to 96 inputs per unit, stackable past 1,000 channels. The P8012 continues the P8000 lineage. If you run older P8000-series equipment, contact Vaughn Associates to discuss support and the best current model for your channel count.

Can one Prosig system handle both NVH testing and modal analysis?

Yes. DATS runs every Prosig acquisition front end and adds analysis modules for NVH, rotating machinery, hammer-impact testing, modal parameter extraction, fatigue and human vibration. A DATS-solo with the DATS-HITS package covers quick resonance checks, while larger DATS-tetrad or DATS-hyper12 systems handle multichannel operating deflection and transfer path work in the same software.

Does Prosig support human vibration assessments to ISO 2631 and ISO 5349?

Yes. The DATS Human Response to Vibration option applies the frequency weightings those standards require for whole-body and hand-arm exposure, along with ISO 8041 instrument weightings. It also covers motion sickness, building vibration and ship vibration assessments. Paired with suitable triaxial accelerometers or seat pads, it produces exposure values for occupational health studies and product compliance reports.

What is Prosig PROTOR?

PROTOR is Prosig's permanently installed online vibration monitoring system for large rotating plant such as turbine generators and boiler feed pumps. Acquisition units on the machines feed a central server that stores real-time and historical vibration and process data, which staff can view remotely. Prosig reports a PROTOR system has operated at Sweden's Ringhals nuclear plant since 1992.
