16. DIGICheck
The DIGICheck software is a unique utility developed for testing, measuring and analysing digi-
tal audio streams. Although this software is fairly self-explanatory, it still includes a comprehen-
sive online help. DIGICheck 5.2 operates as multi-client ASIO host, therefore can be used in
parallel to any software with both inputs and outputs (!). The following is a short summary of the
currently available functions:
Level Meter. High precision 24-bit resolution, 2/8/36 channels. Application examples: Peak
level measurement, RMS level measurement, over-detection, phase correlation measure-
ment, dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratios, RMS to peak difference (loudness), long
term peak measurement, input check. Oversampling mode for levels higher than 0 dBFS.
Vertical and horizontal mode. Slow RMS and RLB weighting filter. Supports visualization ac-
cording to the K-system.
Hardware Level Meter for Input, Playback and Output. As above, received pre-calculated
directly from the HDSP system hardware with near zero CPU load.
Spectral Analyser. World wide unique 10-, 20- or 30-band display in analog bandpass-filter
technology. 192 kHz-capable!
Vector Audio Scope. World wide unique Goniometer showing the typical afterglow of an
oscilloscope-tube. Includes Correlation meter and level meter.
Surround Audio Scope. Professional Surround Level Meter with extended correlation
analysis.
Totalyser. Spectral Analyser, Level Meter and Vector Audio Scope in a single window.
Bit Statistics & Noise. Shows the true resolution of audio signals as well as errors and DC
offset. Includes Signal to Noise measurement in dB and dBA, plus DC measurement.
Channel Status Display. Detailed analysis and display of SPDIF and AES/EBU Channel
Status data.
Global Record. Long-term recording of all channels at lowest system load.
Completely multi-client. Open as many measurement windows as you like, on any chan-
nels and inputs or outputs!
