Analysis Software
When reading with the WS-5160 audio quality evaluation software, the calibration values are embedded, allowing for direct reading of sound pressure levels without the need for calibration work. By resampling from 64 kHz to 48 kHz, loudness values can also be calculated.
The XN-8000 series measurement processing software "Repalyzer" can also read with calibration values, just like the WS-5160 sound quality evaluation software.
When reading with software related to the DS-2000 data station, calibration work is necessary. It is required to prepare a file that contains only calibration sounds in advance. (Automatic calibration has been supported since shipments from May 2006.)
