What's new in version 1.6:

• SoundMeter now includes a signal generator, which is capable of producing white noise, pink noise, or a single tone.
• Screen auto-lock can be disabled or enabled in SignalScope with a switch.
• SoundMeter now supports audio play-through and DC-blocking filter options.
• Input device changes (e.g. plugging/unplugging headset microphones) are handled better, particularly on iPod touch devices.
• SoundMeter’s bar meter displays are cosmetically more consistent across iPhone OS versions and devices.
• The second input channel of a stereo audio input can be used for sound level measurements. Each input channel supports an independent sensitivity calibration.
• Impulse time weighting has been corrected--it now operates within the tolerances specified for Class 1 sound level meters in IEC 61672-1.
• GPS coordinates are reported with greater precision.
• Accessing Help files no longer requires internet access.

SoundMeter is available for download on the app store for $19.99.

New in version 1.1:

• The Signal Generator tool now includes alias-free square, triangle, and sawtooth waveforms.
• Frequency resolution can be specified directly for the FFT Analyzer, rather than selecting the number of spectral lines.
• Input device changes (e.g. plugging/unplugging headset microphones) are handled better, particularly on iPod touch devices, which may have no audio input source at all.
• Data plots no longer have missing borders on the iPhone 3GS.
• The Signal Generator's sweep type is properly saved between launches of the app.
• Accessing Help files no longer requires internet access.
• Other cosmetic issues have been addressed.

SignalScope Pro 1.1 is currently available for download on the App Store for $74.99:

In addition to improved Snow Leopard compatibility, Electroacoustics Toolbox 2.1 now offers advanced transfer function measurements with correction based on previously captured data, automatic software update installation, and other minor improvements and enhancements. The entire Faber Acoustical Mac software line-up now features improved memory management as well as automatic download and installation of software updates.

Pricing and Availability:
 All of Faber Acoustical’s Mac software products are available for download at www.FaberAcoustical.com. Software licenses may be purchased via Faber Acoustical’s online store, or within any of the applications. Education discounts are available.

The new updates include improved Leopard compatibility and stability enhancements. These updates are recommended for all users of SignalScope/Pro 2.x or SignalSuite 3.x.

Those who wish to upgrade from earlier versions may do so at the online store.

With IOScope users can measure frequency response magnitude and phase, coherence, group delay, impulse response, ETC, and correlation. IOScope’s built-in signal generator produces specialized excitation signals, including logarithmic frequency sweeps and periodic pseudorandom noise, for getting the highest quality measurements with little or no averaging.

IOScope also turns the iPhone or iPod touch into a platform for data acquisition, storing acquired data in tab-delimited text files, MAT-files, or images for later download to a Mac or PC. Different engineering units, including Volts, Amps, pascals, g's, and ips (inches per second) can be assigned to input channels of the dock connector audio input or the headset input (headset input not available on 1st generation iPod touch devices). Sensitivity calibration can also be performed for any audio input device or input channel.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  iPod touch devices require additional external hardware to get audio signals into IOScope. The 1st gen iPod touch requires a dock connector input device (such as the Belkin TuneTalk Stereo or the MacAlly iVoice Pro) to be used with IOScope. All other devices can perform measurements with the headset connector, but using a stereo dock connector input device is recommended for the highest quality measurements. It is possible to use IOScope with an iPhone’s built-in microphone, but this is not generally recommended.

More information regarding suitable input devices for specific iPhone or iPod touch models can be found at http://blog.faberacoustical.com.

Pricing and Availability:
IOScope is now available for download on the iPhone App Store for $199.99 USD. External hardware may be required for analog input capability. More information on IOScope can be found at www.FaberAcoustical.com.

Santaquin, Utah - Building on the success of SignalScope for iPhone, Faber Acoustical, LLC announced the availability of SignalScope Pro for iPhone and iPod touch devices. SignalScope Pro, which has been available for Mac OS X since 2005, turns an iPhone or iPod touch into a powerful audio, electronics, and vibration analyzer. Significant new features include a 1/3-octave real-time spectrum analyzer (RTA), acoustic and vibration measurements, a built-in signal generator, and the ability to save and download measurement data.
