SignalScope Pro

SignalScope Pro for iOS devices is a real-time analysis toolset, suitable for use in areas such as acoustics, audio, electronics, and vibration. SignalScope Pro includes 4 tools for dynamic signal analysis, as well as a signal generator for producing test signals. See http//youtube.com/faberast for video demos.

SignalScope Pro also turns your iOS device into a platform for data acquisition, storing acquired data in CSV or TXT files, MAT-files, or PDF or JPEG images for later retrieval from your device.

Input signals can be acquired from the current audio input path (iOS automatically selects the audio input path according to which external audio devices, if any, are connected to your device), or from the built-in accelerometer. Different engineering units, including Volts, Amps, pascals, gs, and ips (inches per second) can be assigned to input channels of the dock connector audio input or the headset input. Sensitivity calibration can also be performed for any audio input device or input channel.

“Touch” your data with highly interactive, multi-touch enabled analyzer displays.

Features
Analyze signals coming from the iOS device’s current audio input device or from the built-in accelerometer.
View real time analyzer displays on an external screen (supported on iPad only).
- Audio input is typically sampled at 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz (higher and lower sample rates are possible, even up to 192 kHz, with hardware that supports it). Built-in accelerometer data is sampled at roughly 100 Hz.
- Assign engineering units to your input signals and calibrate external transducers for accurate measurements.
- Save acquired time or frequency data to CSV, tab-delimited ASCII text, or MAT files.
- Retrieve your data files from your device via iTunes File Sharing, or through a web browser on your Mac or PC.
- Save high-resolution analyzer display images to PDF files or to the iOS devices built-in photo album.
- Pinpoint individual sample values or frequencies with a cursor.
- Zoom in or out on spectrum and waveform displays with two-finger expand/pinch gestures, even while the analyzer is running (FFT analyzer and oscilloscope).
- Pan vertically or horizontally in zoomed displays with two-finger scrolling (FFT analyzer and oscilloscope).

Tools

-- Lin and log frequency scales
- Octave-band Analyzer
-- Whole and 1/3-octave RTA (based on digital Butterworth bandpass filters)
-- Fast, Slow, and Impulse response times
-- Flat, A, and C frequency weighting
-- Equivalent and time-weighted exponential average levels
-- Max, peak, and elapsed time also captured
- Oscilloscope
