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.^[1][2][3][4] 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.

FAMOS can import data from different file formats, e.g. Excel, Binary, TDMS 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.^[5][6][7]

Imported data can be processed with a variety of mathematical operations, either manually or in automated procedures. These include:

• Digital filters, smoothing,^[3][8] frequency weighting of vibration signals according to ISO 8041:2005 and ISO 5349-1^[4]
• FFT spectrum, STFT with windowing functions and overlapping,^[6][9] frequency response^[10]
• Human exposure to mechanical vibrations^[11][12]
• Acoustic signal analysis like sound pressure level calculation, LAeq and LAFmax^[13][14]
• Statistical analysis like moving average^[9]

FAMOS offers expansion modules 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]}

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]}
