New in SignalScope 3.8 (Feb 23, 2015)

  • SignalScope directly supports the miniDSP UMIK-1 and Dayton UMM-6 USB measurement microphones.

Making calibrated sound level measurements is as easy as plugging in the UMIK-1 or UMM-6, typing in its serial number, and getting started with the analysis tool of your choice (the serial number only needs to be entered once, after which the app will remember the microphone sensitivity). An internet connection is required to download sensitivity information for the microphone.
  • SignalScope directly supports the Digiducer 333D01 USB digital accelerometer, and can automatically load serial number and sensitivity calibration information directly from the device. Making calibrated acceleration measurements is as easy as plugging in the 333D01 and getting started with the analysis tool of your choice.
  • Minor bug fixes and cosmetic improvements.
