Telling the Story Through Your Measurements - Post Measurement Data Analysis Using Standard Software Tools

Advantages of Computer Aided MeasurementsComputer aided techniques have improved the power and versatility of measurement tools, removing much of the laborious manual recording and interpretation which used to be required.Measurement accuracy, resolution and speed have been improved.Today we can rapidly produce reams of test results with eight gure resolution where one page of measurement results with two or three digit resolution would have been the norm a few years ' ago.Instruments (or their controllers) also provide computational and analytical resources which are integrated into their control softwaremaking post processing and display functions easy to perform.MLS or other FFl'limpulse response based techniques can allow a multiplicity of results to be extracted from one measurement.The Audio Precision System One makes it easy to produce custom scaled graphs relating almost any two measurement parameters using conventional or digital technologies.IVIE provide a software package which allows measureth data obtained with their PC40 Real Time Analyzer to be easily viewed with respect to each other or to NRINC octave band curves.Sometimes, indeed we nd often, the analysis tools which come with our instrument are
