Timeline:

1996: Crystal Instruments released the world’s smallest dynamic signal analyzer in a type-II PCMCIA form factor. It was the first vibration analyzer in the world using sigmadelta A/D converters.
2007: Crystal Instruments introduced the CoCo-80, the first handheld data recorder, real-time dynamic signal analyzer, and vibration data collector that matched the performance of high end lab quality instrumentation.
November 2007: The US patent office granted Crystal Instruments an important patent, #7302354. This innovation provided an advanced technique that can greatly increase measurement dynamic range and accuracy. All Crystal Instruments products use this patented technology today.
2009: Crystal Instruments introduced the Spider-80, a highly scalable network-based dynamic measurement system that can measure up to 128 dynamic input channels with full data recording capability.
2011: Crystal Instruments introduced the 4th generation of vibration controllers, the Spider-81.
2012: Crystal Instruments received ISO 9001:2008 certification, reaffirming our dedication to high quality products. Crystal Instruments India Private Limited is established.
2012: Crystal Instruments released the Spider-HUB, an industrial Ethernet switch with networked accuracy up to 50 ns.
2013: Spider-80X is released, based on the Spider-80 design. Features two additional tachometer channels and the ability to stream data directly to a network attached storage device (Spider-NAS).
2014: Spider-80SG strain gage measurement system is introduced. It includes support for quarter-bridge, half-bridge, and full-bridge installations.
2015: Crystal Instruments releases the Spider-20, the first wireless dynamic signal analyzer.
2016: Crystal Instruments releases the CoCo-80X, a 7-inch LCD touchscreen dynamic signal analyzer with CAN bus.
2016: Spider-80Xi, a compact and lightweight high channel count system is released.
2017: Introduced EDM Modal, a suite of tools for modal test and analysis.
2018: EDM MIMO VCS Control, software for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Control
2018: Spider-80M Controller is released, based on the Spider-80Xi architecture and is dedicated to MIMO VCS control and MIMO structural testing applications.
2019: Released the CoCo-70X, an industrial version of a handheld vibration analyzer
2020: Released Spider-80Hi supporting up to 256 kHz sampling rate. Released strain and temperature DAQ products.
2021: Awarded by NASA for a major contract: Ground Recording System to be built based on CoCo platform
