Important features of the User InterfaceIntroduction to WinMLS 2000
WinMLS 2000 is software for performing and evaluating audio, acoustical and vibrational measurements. It was designed for MLS (maximum length sequence) measurements of acoustical systems, but other types of measurements are also supported. Measurements based on MLS allow measuring system impulse responses with high accuracy. Until recently, such measurements were impossible without custom hardware solutions. With WinMLS, however, impulse responses can be measured with great dynamic range and fine resolution on a PC with a standard (full duplex) sound card. Powerful and flexible post-processing capabilities are integrated in the software. In order to export the measurement data, several formats are supported. If further post-processing of the measurement data than the current version of WinMLS can offer is needed, MLSSA® (DRA Laboratories) and Matlab® (MathWorks Inc.) may be used. Software that can read text-files, such as Excel (Microsoft) may also be used.
In the documentation, note that some parts may not be relevant for your type of sound card or the type of measurements you want to do. This text is written in a way that it should be understandable for persons having little experience with computers. Bold letters are used for items in the user interface, such as menus and buttons.
