Audio analyser offers higher-bandwidth convertors

The Audio Precision ATS-2 is a high-quality PC-controlled audio test and measurement system that offers many of the same features found in the company's earlier 2700 Series. It provides design engineers and technicians with the ability to choose performance capabilities to match specific needs

and budgets.



The interface measurement capability within the ATS-2 determines whether or not the signal from a digital device meets standards and is compatible with other devices. High-performance measurement capabilities include jitter and FFT of jitter, pulse amplitude, word width, bit activity, sample rate and

high-level decoded status bits.



Interface stimulus features simulate real-world degradations to measure the effect on the device during testing.



The multitone analyser used in the ATS-2 provides comprehensive solutions to a range of audio testing challenges by executing five performance tests in a single acquisition: 2-channel frequency response; noise versus frequency; total distortion versus frequency; inter-channel separation versus

frequency; and inter-channel phase response. The system collates all the data required to graph any test result in less than one second.



Most ATS-2 settings and readings can be designated as independent or dependent variables, and can be plotted against one another using the comprehensive ATS-2 sweep and graph functions. Extensive attribute controls allow a wide variation in the visual appearance of the graphs, including colour, axis dimensions, and size. Flexible export capabilities allow integration of graphs into various report programs.
