Overview

This VI generates and acquires data for a single-shot acquisition and performs gain and phase measurements on the acquired stimulus and response channels. This VI also measures the signal in noise and distortion (SINAD) on the acquired response channel. You can specify the initial settling time of the device under test, the integration time to use for the measurement, and the frequency range of interest. The graphical output displays the time record of the stimulus and response data to process. gain and phase lag measure the relative response of the response to the stimulus at the specified test frequency. SINAD [dB] measures the quality of the response signal in the specified frequency range. This program is a shipping example VI included with the NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite and NI Sound and Vibration Toolkit.

This Virtual Instrument is designed to work with data acquisition hardware from National Instruments. To find compatible hardware for this application, visit ni.com/soundandvibration.

This software is written in LabVIEW, a graphical programming language designed for scientists and engineers. For more information about LabVIEW, visit ni.com/labview.
