“…On the other hand, MATLAB is a very powerful calculation tool that, among many other remarkable features, can be used to create matrix-type databases, perform complex calculations, and generates graphs, allowing the creation of graphical interfaces, etc., so undoubtedly we can use it to develop a software for storing vibration analysis data in a database and tools that permit the analysis of data stored in the same software, this being a first step toward the creation of a low-cost "virtual instrument" [9]. This software is limited, in this first development stage, to data acquisition from an Excel spreadsheet, along with the recording and analysis of the acquired data, leaving aside for the time being the capture of the machine's vibrations stage through a transducer, the conditioning of the captured vibrations, as well as the subsequent data acquisition [10,11].…”
