It combines the capability to make conventional electronic audio measurements with more advanced measurements designed for emerging audio technologies. Once acquired, powerful signal processing software performs filtering, analysis and calculations of test results. An advanced suite of measurements permits users to examine or measure important digital audio interface parameters including eye diagram analysis, timing measurements, data format analysis and jitter measurements. The AM700's reference capability permits the instrument to generate or measure digital audio signals while being synchronized with a house digital reference. The AM700 has the capability to generate test signals in both analog and digital domains.
Full support is provided for all conventional test signal needs.
The AM700's powerful measurement capabilities do not come at the expense of ease of use. Operation is controlled by proven, simple combinations of hardkeys, softkeys, knob rotation and touch-screen entries. Convenience features for manual operation include touch screen based controls and menus, intelligent cursors, and zoom and pan display capability. Test results may be saved on floppy disk or printed to external printers. Automatic operation can be programmed through the AM700's function playback feature.
