11. DIGICheck Windows
The DIGICheck software is a unique utility developed for testing, measuring and analysing
digital audio streams. Although this Windows software is fairly self-explanatory, it still includes a
comprehensive online help. DIGICheck 5.92 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:
x Level Meter. High precision 24-bit resolution, 2/8/128 channels. Application examples: Peak
level measurement, RMS level measurement, over-detection, phase correlation
measurement, 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 according to the K-System.
x Hardware Level Meter for Input, Playback and Output. Reference Level Meter freely
configurable, causing near zero CPU load, because calculated from the Digiface hardware.
x Vector Audio Scope. World wide unique Goniometer showing the typical afterglow of a
oscilloscope-tube. Includes Correlation meter and level meter.
x Spectral Analyser. World wide unique 10-, 20- or 30-band display in analog bandpass filter
technology. 192 kHz-capable!
x Totalyser. Spectral Analyser, Level Meter and Vector Audio Scope in a single window.
x Surround Audio Scope. Professional Surround Level Meter with extended correlation
analysis, ITU weighting and ITU summing meter.
x ITU1770/EBU R128 Meter. For standardized loudness measurements.
x 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.
x Channel Status Display. Detailed analysis and display of Channel Status data within the
MADI stream.
x Global Record. Long-term recording of all channels at lowest system load.
x Completely multi-client. Open as many measurement windows as you like, on any
channels and inputs or outputs!
