FAMOS (short for fast analysis and monitoring of signals) is a software for post-processing test & measurement data in time and frequency domain, and visually displaying measurement results.{{Cite journal |last1=Pesthy |first1=Márk |last2=Boros |first2=Máté |last3=Tóth-Nagy |first3=Csaba |date=2025 |title=Experimental Analysis of a Turbocharger: Influence of Oil Supply Temperature and Pressure on the Bifurcation Phenomenon in Subsynchronous Frequencies |journal=Lubricants |volume=13 |issue=3 |pages=133 |doi=10.3390/lubricants13030133 |doi-access=free }}{{Cite journal |last1=Tang |first1=Ming-zan |last2=Xiong |first2=Xiao-hui |last3=Li |first3=Xiao-bai |last4=Zhang |first4=Jie |last5=Chen |first5=Guang |last6=Wang |first6=Kai-wen |date=2023-02-01 |title=Vibration characteristics of outer windshield structures of high-speed trains based on fluid–structure interactions |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s11071-022-07943-0 |journal=Nonlinear Dynamics |language=en |volume=111 |issue=3 |pages=2111–2132 |doi=10.1007/s11071-022-07943-0 |bibcode=2023NonDy.111.2111T |issn=1573-269X|url-access=subscription }}{{Cite report |url=https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/43646 |title=Wheel Bearing Brake/Instrumented Wheelset (WBB/IWS) Friction Characterization Study |last1=Szablewski |first1=Daniel |last2=Caldwell |first2=Robert |date=2019-12-01 |issue=DOT/FRA/ORD–19/46 |language=English}}{{Cite journal |last1=Bovenzi |first1=Massimo |last2=Pinto |first2=Iole |last3=Picciolo |first3=Francesco |last4=Mauro |first4=Marcella |last5=Ronchese |first5=Federico |date=2011 |title=Frequency weightings of hand-transmitted vibration for predicting vibration-induced white finger |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41151549 |journal=Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health |volume=37 |issue=3 |pages=244–252 |doi=10.5271/sjweh.3129 |jstor=41151549 |pmid=21046061 |issn=0355-3140}} The program was introduced in 1987 by the German company imc Test & Measurement GmbH (integrated measurement & control) in Berlin for Windows. According to its manufacturer, FAMOS offers high speed display and processing of data sets of any size.
Import of a wide variety of data formats
FAMOS can import data from different file formats, e.g. Excel-, Binary-, or ASCII-files. With a file assistant it is also possible to create different import filters. It is possible to present the data in different graphical ways. The information can be combined, labeled and processed.
FAMOS is able to store data in a proprietary as well as in ASCII or Excel format.{{Cite journal |last1=Siebald |first1=Hubertus |last2=Möller |first2=Morten |last3=Lenz |first3=Finn |last4=Kirchner |first4=Sascha |last5=Hensel |first5=Oliver |date=2024-05-01 |title=Acoustic condition monitoring of coffee beans, during the roasting process |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0023643824003980 |journal=LWT |volume=199 |pages=116119 |doi=10.1016/j.lwt.2024.116119 |issn=0023-6438|doi-access=free }}{{Cite journal |last1=Kaufmann |first1=Hans-Hermann |last2=Siebald |first2=Hubertus |last3=Bilibio |first3=Carolina |last4=Nasirahmadi |first4=Abozar |last5=Hensel |first5=Oliver |date=2025-06-01 |title=Acoustic monitoring of soil water content during tillage and sowing |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950289625000089 |journal=Soil Advances |volume=3 |pages=100040 |doi=10.1016/j.soilad.2025.100040 |issn=2950-2896|doi-access=free }}{{Cite journal |last1=Hirsch |first1=Sarah Johanna |last2=Winter |first2=Lisa |last3=Grund |first3=Thomas |last4=Lampke |first4=Thomas |date=2022-03-29 |title=Heat Treatment Influencing Porosity and Tensile Properties of Field Assisted Sintered AlSi7Mg0.6 |journal=Materials |language=en |volume=15 |issue=7 |pages=2503 |doi=10.3390/ma15072503 |doi-access=free |pmid=35407836 |pmc=8999660 |bibcode=2022Mate...15.2503H |issn=1996-1944 }}
Data analysis
Imported data can be processed with a variety of mathematical operations, either manually or in automated procedures. FAMOS offers expansion modules for special operations such as electronic filters, for spectral analysis and for synchronized display of data and video sequences and for the ASAM-ODS data model. It is also possible to play data back audibly with the PC sound card.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}
Documentation
By means of its "Report Generator", FAMOS enables creation of documentations / lab reports consisting of a variety of dialog elements and plots as well as graphics with controls which can be automatically hidden when printing. The reports generated can be subject to post-processing using various input data, and there are templates for partially or fully automated composition of reports.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}
