Prism launches analogue-only variant of dScope

From 1 January 2009, dScope Series III will be available to order as an analogue-only variant, making it ideally suited to those engineers who are only concerned with audio analysis in the analogue domain.

This development means that customers who want to access the power and flexibility of the dScope Series III audio analyser platform can do so at a lower cost of entry, with the ability to upgrade to add digital functionality in the future.

The new analogue-only units will begin shipping in March 2009.

The dScope Series III family offers analogue and digital audio signal generation and analysis, plus support for digital audio carrier testing, quasi-anechoic microphone/loudspeaker analysis and testing of Windows sound devices.

DScope Series III users can also define their own analysis filters or measurement algorithms.

DScope Series III can be easily automated using its built-in VBScript interpreter, enabling the creation of custom test routines and pass/fail limit checking.

Furthermore, test automation can also be accomplished with dScope's COM interface, when using external automation software.

This makes dScope Series III ideally suited to production line testing applications, where testing of many different types of functionality in different domains (analogue, digital, electronic, acoustic) can all be accomplished using this single unit.

The dScope Series III audio test and measurement system comprises a Windows PC (XP and Vista compatible) software application coupled with an external high-precision audio I/O processor for equipment-under-test (EUT) connection.
