^ right there. You see what happen when you group together. Brilliant ideas comes together. Team work and knowledge sharing is a killer. Works.

By using this online sharing method we'd average the ideal vibration freq (range?) in less than a month. Brilliant idea, software updates is a must I agree.

Markus, RE your question about what-is-not-is-breaking; the vibration spectrum analysis (aka algorithm) would be entirely to the m-eng’s discretion. Often highly safeguarded lines of codes but relatively easy to do; being proprietary to Porsche’s IMS only would make it even simpler to develop. To my knowledge not 2 freq are the same.

Not a vibration engineer myself but know for sure that low/high frequency accelerations would be much different from a failing coil pack to an “isolated” grinding metal frequency. Which is, in a few words, what makes this vibration analysis tool (concept) so efficient and literally unbeatable. Boeing, military contractors, and Co, wouldn’t use the technology if it wouldn’t.

Chain slacks monitoring could also work (I’m less aware/exp) but nothing as close and scientifically efficient or reliable as real-time vibration analysis. I do see the data of both being merged for better output however. I mean why not!
