Returning 19 key audio measurements in 1.2s, the analyser will allow production line managers to achieve reliable, consistent results with a minimum number of test stations, ensuring lower defect rates at a lower cost per unit.
‘Being the recognised industry standard, AP analysers are used in production around the world,’ says AP President, Dave Schmoldt. ‘Companies trust our results for their accuracy and reliability. Now we offer that reliability in 1.2s, on an analyser that starts at $6200 in the US. It’s very easy to demonstrate the return on investment for any size production line.’
The APx multitone analyser returns the following results in graphic or tabular data form: Level, TD+N (total harmonic distortion and intermodulation distortion plus noise), Level, Noise Density Spectrum, Gain, TD+N Spectrum, Noise RMS Level, Relative Level, Crosstalk, Signal to Noise Ratio, Deviation, Crosstalk at Tone, DC Level, Phase, Total RMS Level, Frequency Shift, Phase at Tone, RMS Level at Tone, FFT Spectrum, TD+N Ratio, and Maximum Level at Tone. Speeds of 1.2s are attainable using the APx API (application programming interface), the typical implementation on an automated production line. When the APx graphic UI is controlling the APx, speeds are closer to 2.5s for 19 results.
APx v2.7 software powers all APx analysers, including the new APx515 production test audio analyser, the APx525 high-performance audio analyser and the APx585 multichannel audio analyser.
APx500 v2.7 is a free update for all APx users.
