It also generates and disseminates reliable mechanical property and corrosion data and collaborates with standards organizations, U.S. industry and the Federal Government in test-method development. To meet mission requirements, the MPG requires the procurement of hardware and software to configure a digital image correlation (DIC) non-contact strain measurement/mapping system. This procurement shall include a the high-resolution video cameras, lenses, computer controller, and other hardware necessary to maintain complete compatibility with existing licenses of the data acquisition and analysis software from Correlated Solutions, Inc (VIC-Snap and VIC-3D, respectively). Compatibility will be verified by pre- testing the operation of both software packages. The MPG currently owns an unused license for VIC-Snap is that has been assigned to a system with NIST Property # 641641. This license will be transferred to the new system. The Contractor shall provide the high performance video cameras, lenses, and control system required to drive to acquire the displacement data as described below: Digital Image Correlation System These cameras shall: (a) Have a minimum of 9.1 Mega-pixel capability (b) Have a resolution of at least 3376 x 2704 at 9 FPS with a 25 mm Sony ICX814 CCD image sensor and 14-bit A/D converter oe equivalent (c) Have a C-mount lens fixture (d) Have a USB 3.0 interface with screw locks for camera control, data, and power (e) Support Mono8, Mono12 and Mono16 image data formats at 8, 12, 16 and 24-bit digital data output rates (f) Have two 100 mm F-mount macro lenses providing a minimum field of view of 15 mm (g) Meet all of the input requirements for seamless control by VIC-Snap (Correlated Solutions data acquisition software) Data Acquisition and Control (DAQ) System The DAQ system shall be the primary interface between the video imaging system and the strain measurement. The unit shall: (a) Have one quad-core 3.5 GHz intel i7 CPU with a minimum of 500 GB SSD, 4TB HD, 32 GB RAM, Win 7, configured to run both VIC-Snap and VIC-3D, a slot for the VIC-Snap dongle, and at least one 24" LCD. (b) Have one 4-channel USB analog data acquisition system (c) Have two LED lighting systems with gooseneck positioners and variable light control (d) Have an eight-piece set of aluminum calibration grids (field of view between 25 mm and 460 mm) that has been coded for automatic target recognition during calibration in VIC- Snap (e) Meet all of the operational requirements for compatibility with VIC-Snap and VIC-3D (Correlated Solutions data acquisition and analysis software) The contractor shall provide the training necessary for safe, reliable operation of this system. Training The contractor shall conduct one (1) training session for up to six (6) users at NIST. The training shall provide a thorough demonstration of all system/solution functions, safety features and operation, maintenance, data administration, and basic troubleshooting. The training may be completed at NIST immediately after installation/set-up and on-site measurements demonstrating that no damage or misalignment issues arose during transportation and installation, but shall be completed no later than 15 days after installation. Installation The system shall be installed by the Contractor and meet contract specifications no later than 30 days after receipt of the system at NIST, Gaithersburg. Installation, at a minimum, shall include uncrating/un-packaging of all equipment, set-up and hook-up of the system, demonstration of all specifications, validation, testing and removal of trash. Onsite installation and demonstration shall be done at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD. GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY Upon award of this order, the Government will provide the existing VIC-Snap license dongle so that the contractor can install it inside the new DAQ unit.
