8.12.3 Offline Scoring
The Nomad Offline Scoring utility provides a method of retrieving and scoring uplink .WAV files
from the Audio Server outside of an active test session. Files processed using Offline Scoring may
be scored using either PESQ or POLQA.
Note: The Spirent ME hardware unit must be attached in order for the POLQA scoring option to be
available in the Offline Scoring Utility.
Offline scoring can be used to score previously unprocessed files or for re-scoring. Select the
Scoring Model on the Uplink Scoring Utility Settings Screen to choose between PESQ and
POLQA.
See Section 8.9 for detailed information about the Uplink Offline Scoring utility.
