ACOUSTIC STANDARDS COMPLIANCE SIMPLIFIED WITH NEW ACOUSTIC INTENSITY ANALYSIS SOFTWARE; STARAcoustics 3.0 Automatically Evaluates Acoustic Intensity Test Data.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 13, 1994--GenRad Structural Test Products (STP STP or standard temperature and pressure, standard conditions for measurement of the properties of matter. The standard temperature is the freezing point of pure water, 0°C; or 273.15°K;. ) Division announced today the release of special ISO standards compliance software for acoustic intensity testing. As part of the new STARAcoustics 3.0, the software automatically evaluates acoustic intensity test data for compliance against the ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9614-1 and ISO 9614-2 standards. Provided on the spot is confirmation of data quality, accuracy, and detailed information and recommendations about the test data compared to the standards. This functionality will save test engineers many hours and days of custom software or spreadsheet development time, as well as time spent in data analysis and report generation. After measurement collection, STARAcoustics evaluates the data against the selected ISO standard and produces an easy-to-read report of the results. The report shows test criteria, measured values, computed functions, limits, pass or fail, and action items. Action items direct the user in how to correct fail conditions. The pre-formatted document is directly compatible with word processors and spreadsheets alike and makes for an excellent data analysis or compliance section of an overall test report, taking only seconds to compute. Graphs and tables produced in STARAcoustics provide all of the elements needed for a comprehensive professional document. Because measurements are integral to the acoustic testing process, STARAcoustics has a new enhanced measurement display, using measurement data transferred over the GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) An IEEE 488 standard parallel interface used for attaching sensors and programmable instruments to a computer. Using a 24-pin connector, up to 15 devices can be daisy chained together. HP's version is the HPIB. or through database translations. Measurements from real-time octave analyzers or narrowband FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) A class of algorithms used in digital signal processing that break down complex signals into elementary components. FFT - Fast Fourier Transform instruments are all compatible. The new display provides multiple measurement windows with almost 200 measurements per window. This helps the user to view entire measurement sets looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. anomalies or trends in the data. A wide variety of acoustic analysis functions are available to the user including the analysis from ISO 7779 and ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. S12.10 for identifying prominent discrete tones. Automatic tone identification, per the standards, eliminates time consuming software development steps to arrive at the same information. This will be of particular interest to engineers solving sound quality related problems. Other features in the new STARAcoustics 3.0 are enhanced multicolor contour maps for noise source identification, a system level toolbar A row or column of on-screen buttons used to activate functions in the application. Many toolbars are customizable, letting you add and delete buttons as required. Toolbars may be fixed in position or may float, which means they can be dragged to a more convenient location in the for ease of use, and many new user requested features.
