APx500 v2.5 adds support for .wav analysis, Dolby TrueHD and custom report layouts
50-word summary: The latest audio analyzer software update from Audio Precision adds
support for customized report layouts in MS Word, analysis of .wav audio files
and Dolby TrueHD decoders with several new measurements and UI improvements.
Beaverton, Oregon, January 29th, 2010: Audio Precision, the recognized standard in audio test and measurement, today introduced custom reports, .wav file analysis and Dolby TrueHD support as part of the latest software update for APx audio analyzers, APx500 v2.5.
Custom report layouts allow users to place measurement results from APx
into a MS Word document. Any value or graph can be placed in any order,
allowing APx reports to match corporate style guidelines or be inserted into
larger product reports automatically.
“Engineers should be spending time on audio innovation, not cutting and pasting all day,” says Daniel Knighten, Director of Products at Audio Precision. “Custom reporting is another example where APx saves time, adds value and makes life a little easier.”
Share acquisitions
or measure digital recorders and PC sound cards
With APx500 v2.5, APx users can import and analyze .wav audio files, for
example, using an acquisition saved by a contract manufacturer’s audio analyzer
to verify test results. File analysis is also useful for measuring the input
quality of devices such as digital audio recorders, PC soundcards and digital
signal generators.
Dolby TrueHD
support and other new features
For HDMI testing, APx can now generate the lossless Dolby TrueHD file
format and can capture a raw encoded bitstream for later analysis. Several
distortion- and regulation-related features have been added for power amp
testing, and the software has new features to improve workflow, for example
allowing AP2700 or ATS files to serve as pass/fail limits. For a complete list
of new features, please download the PDF “What’s New in APx500 v2.5” from http://ap.com/download/apx.
