a cluttered viewing area. The display screens can be formatted for any external
PostScript, Laserjet, or Epson-compatible printer for generating printed copies of
the measurements and waveforms. Graphic images in PostScript and TIFF formats
can be formatted for color copy.
The AM700 has a unique view window feature that lets you view multiple graphical
measurement displays. Use this feature to make distortion, phase, or crosstalk
measurements while still viewing a critical signal parameter, such as signal level.
Measurement Capability
Analog and digital signal applications include Audio Analyzer, FFT Analyzer with
multitone capabilities, and an Audio Monitor. You cam apply analog signals to one
measurement channel and digital signals to the other measurement channel and
simultaneously make measurements on both.
Features of the Digital Interface Tester include an Eye Height display, a Bit Activity
display, Jitter and Sample Rate measurements, and a decoded Channel Status
display. Extensive monitoring and measurement capability on a variety of digital
audio signals are standard.
With the AM700 you can perform several related measurement or monitoring tasks
at once.
Audio Signal Generator Capabilities
The AM700 includes signal generating capability allowing users to create test
signals in Analog and Digital Audio domains. These generators can be operated in
concert with the analyzer function or as a stand-alone test signal source. The analog
and digital generators can also be used either simultaneously or independently.
The analog generator has a great deal of operation flexibility. Its balanced output
signals can be referred to either chassis ground or floating. The analog signal
generator can produce different signals on each of its pair of output channels. In
addition, a front-panel selected internal connection permits the output of the
generator to be directly connected to the analog and digital inputs without the need
for external cabling when checking out the operation of the AM700.
