Features
Stacks Image 123
Built for Standardized Measurement: The Octave Analyzer employs real-time Order 3 digital Butterworth bandpass filters, in whole or 1/3-octave frequency bands, designed with standard filter characteristics defined by ANSI S1.11 and IEC 61260. And, it offers standard sound level metrics, including time and frequency weighting, defined by ANSI S1.4 and IEC 61672 standards for sound level meters.

Multi-channel Display: View live spectra from up to 16 channels (8 channels on iPhone), simultaneously, including output channels.

Save Data: Export spectrum magnitude values and metadata to a data file (.csv, .mat, or .txt). Or, generate a high-resolution image of the graph and save it to a PDF file.

Live Web Preview (Pro Feature): Use SignalScope's built-in http web server to monitor the spectrum remotely via a standard web browser. Your own custom software can remotely retrieve information from the Octave Analyzer as JSON data to format, analyze, store, or display according to your specific needs.
