Measurement Module
Measurement Module in Global Tuning Tool (GTT) is a powerful feature designed for performing both synchronous and asynchronous impulse response measurements and recordings. It simplifies the process of acoustic analysis and system tuning by integrating seamlessly into GTT’s signal flow.
Key Features
-
- Impulse Response Measurements allow users to measure impulse responses, which are crucial for analyzing room acoustics, speaker performance, and system behavior.
- Automatic Speaker Control – Integrated with GTT’s gain channels, the Measurement Module can automatically mute and unmute speakers during measurements, ensuring precise and interference-free acquisition.
- Sweep Signal Generation with customizable inputs like length, stimulus placement (before/after), and other parameters. This provides flexibility in measurement setups.
- Predefined Signal Injection -Ability to inject predefined signals such as Uncorrelated Pink Noise, Correlated Pink Noise, and Left Pink Noise These signals allow for detailed testing and analysis in asynchronous measurement scenarios.
- Data Management – acquired measurements are stored within the project and can be exported or imported. This makes it easy to save, share, or reuse measurement data across different sessions or projects.
