Hi,

It must be me, but I can't find a setting to show a phase plot.

If it's not me. Will this be available in a future version?

Thanks.

Iain.

It's not you and yes, the next release has phase and group delay plots.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. But also thank you very much for the software. It is very impressive. Since it looks like you are going to add more features. I would like to make a few requests, if possible.

Coherence view and variable blanking (4 steps?)
Setup presets (maybe 6)
Addition of measurements, eg stitching of LF port to main etc. like MLSSA.
Defined averaging. ie vector/RMS.

Iain.

ps AES UK section meeting on the 10th March looks interesting.

REW only makes one calculation of the response, when multiple sweeps it pre-averages synchronously in the time domain before FFT so coherence would be 1. Frequency domain averaging is on the list to be looked at though, and I'll take note of the other items. What settings would you like captured in the presets?

John,

"REW only makes one calculation of the response, when multiple sweeps it pre-averages synchronously in the time domain before FFT so coherence would be 1."

Ok, but in "RTA" mode, I would have thought it would be helpful. Of course it's better to do an impulse and go from there.

"What settings would you like captured in the presets?"

Soundcard/Interface settings
Levels.
Time Offset
General Measurement/Generator settings
Mic Cal file

I just wanted to echo a big thanks for the software too...I have found it extremely helpful in all sorts of applications. :T

One minor request....when using the loopback feature, would it be possible for the ETC and impulse to show absolute time?

 

[JimP]

John,

Will the phase plot provide for equalizer induced phase shift?

Depends what you mean. If the equaliser is in the measurement path its phase shift will be included in the measurement.

It is certainly possible, are you aiming to compare arrival times between different measurements, e.g. to check speaker or drive unit time alignments?

A feature I have already included is an option to eliminate measurement delays through a process of cross correlation of the captured impulse with its minimum phase counterpart, that has the effect of finding the zero time of the system itself and eliminates all the time delays, whether in the soundcard path or the system itself.

Yep :T

It would also aid in multi-speaker systems...like a church or live venue with delay stacks, etc...
