Thus data are displayed and analyzed in "true" real time. 10 The colors of display, font size, screen refresh rate are configurable. 11 Number of points to be collected per scan can be fine tuned at one point's resolution. 12 Display the Maximum, Minimum, Mean, RMS values of the data per scan. Therefore it can be used as a voltmeter. 13 Support one cursor reader and two markers which stick to the measurement data. 14 Five chart types: Line, Scatter, Column, Bar, and Step. Line width is adjustable. 15 Support combining data from individual channels of different wave files and extracting part of data from a wave file. 16 Support normal and inverted display of a waveform. 17 Up to five reference curves can be set for each channel.

If the FFT size is less than the record length, then the measurement data will be split into different segments with the size of each segment equal to the FFT size. Segment overlap percentage can be selected among 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%. The final result will be obtained by averaging the FFT results from all segments. 10 Support 55 window functions: Rectangle, Triangle (or Fejer), Hanning, Hamming, Blackman, Exact Blackman, Blackman Harris, Blackman Nuttall, Flat Top, Exponential, Gaussian, Welch (or Riesz), Cosine, Riemann (or Lanczos), Parzen, Tukey, Bohman, Poisson, Hanning-Poisson, Cauchy, Bartlett-Hann, Kaiser, etc. 11 Display peak frequency with sub-FFT-bin-size accuracy in Amplitude Spectrum display, peak time delay and corresponding coefficient in Cross Correlation Function display, peak frequency and corresponding coefficient in Coherence Function display, peak frequency and corresponding gain and phase in Transfer Function display, peak time and corresponding value in Impulse Response display. 12 Allow the measurement of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), THD+Noise (THD+N), Signal in Noise and Distortion (SINAD), Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Noise Level (NL) in a specified frequency range. 13 Allow the measurement of IMD-SMPTE/DIN, IMD-CCIF1, IMD-CCIF2, Crosstalk, Bandwidth (-3dB), Harmonics, Energy in user defined frequency bands, Peaks. 14 Support one cursor reader and two markers which stick to the measurement data. 15 Intra-frame processing includes: Remove DC Component, Frequency Compensation, Frequency Weighting (flat, A weighting, B weighting , C weighting, ITU-R 468 weighting), and Smooth via Moving Average. Frequency compensation is achieved via loading a user configurable text-based Frequency Compensation File (*.fcf). 16 Four inter-frame processing methods: None, Peak Hold, Linear Average, Exponential Average. The number of frames (2~200, forever) for peak hold or linear averaging can be specified. The process can be reset during runtime if “forever” is chosen. 17 Five chart types: Line, Scatter, Column, Bar, and Step. Line width is adjustable. 18 Up to five reference curves can be set for each channel. The reference curve can be configured by either copying the current curve, or loading a properly formatted text file or a previously saved reference file from the hard disk. 19 The data in the graph can be copied into the clipboard as text and later paste into other software such as Microsoft Excel for further analysis.

Specification 1 Provides a mechanism for you to configure and conduct your own device test steps. It takes the advantage of the sound card’s (or other ADC/DAC hardware’s) capability of simultaneous input & output, to generate a stimulus to the Device Under Test (DUT) and acquire the response from that device at the same time. Different stimuli can be generated and the response can be analyzed in different ways. 2 Supports 14 instructions with corresponding parameters. 3 Parameters to be tested can be selected from 129 derived variables, including RMS value, Peak Frequency, Sound Pressure Level, RPM, Gain, THD, etc. 4 Test results (e.g. Gain vs Frequency, Phase vs Frequency, etc.) can be plotted in up to 8 X-Y plots and reported in one textual log window in real time. 5 Support batch file processing and batch signal event capturing and storing. 6 A device test plan can be created, edited, modified, saved, locked, reloaded, executed. 7 There are two types of device test plans: locked and unlocked. A locked device test plan cannot be modified within the software after it has been created. 8 Support Pass/Fail check. 9 Supports Multilingual User Interface under Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7 and above. Currently supported languages are English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
