Electroacoustics Toolbox 2.0.3

Multi-channel, audio-band data acquisition and real-time analysis of electrical, acoustical signals.
The Faber Electroacoustics Toolbox (FEaT) brings powerful new tools to the Macintosh platform for multi-channel, audio-band data acquisition and real-time analysis of electrical, acoustical, and electroacoustic signals and systems.

Electroacoustics Toolbox enables precision measurements of acoustic quantities, such as equivalent and time-weighted sound levels, as well as acoustic and electroacoustic systems, such as listening rooms and loudspeakers.

After running the installer, ElectroacousticsToolbox.mpkg, double-click the Electroacoustics Toolbox icon to launch the program and you'll be on your way. Electroacoustics Toolbox's basic functions are designed to be very intuitive to use. Documentation can be accessed from the Help menu.

You may want to have an audio input signal ready to really see what Electroacoustics Toolbox can do. Some options for input signals include an external microphone, an audio mixer output, CD player output, or if you have a Powerbook, you can use the built-in microphone.

Alternatively, you can route output signals from the signal generator tool directly to any of the analyzer tools without the need for any external audio hardware.

FEaT is a project-based application, which allows you to configure and save project files.  Projects may contain one or more tools available in the toolbox, along with any captured data associated with those tools.  FEaT allows for the creation of any number of tools of a certain type, or tools of different types. 

For example, a project may contain an oscilloscope, two FFT analyzers, and two signal generators.  The oscilloscope and FFT analyzers may each simultaneously analyze multiple input channels of a single device. However, there is no requirement that all tools must work with the same device.

FEaT also offers advanced options for configuring input and output device parameters and assigning labels, units, and transducer sensitivities to individual input and output channels.


Main features of Electroacoustics Toolbox:

Hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics for fast real-time plotting.

Quartz-based graphics for high-resolution still images and prints.

Advanced control over input and output devices.

Device and individual channel calibration.

Support for units, including Volts, Amps, Pascals, and Engineering Units.

Saving complete configurations and data in project files.

Exporting data to ascii text or MAT-files for easy import into other applications.

Work with multiple independent audio devices simultaneously.

No arbitrary limits on how many devices or channels are used, or on sample rates or signal formats--these are limited only by your hardware.

Modular architecture for rapid development of additional tools, with the potential to allow third parties to develop custom plug-ins.

AppleScript support for measurement automation and remote control.


Requirements of Electroacoustics Toolbox:

Mac OS X (Core Audio) compatible audio hardware.


Limitations of Electroacoustics Toolbox:

30 days trial period.

Saving is disabled.

What's New in This Release:

A maintenance release, which improves the performance of the fractional octave band filters and fixes menu commands and keyboard shortcuts for the primary data cursor in the Octave Analyzer.
