IOScope 2 adds native support for iPad and new, lower price

IOScope 2.0 is now available for download on the App Store.

IOScope room impulse response measurement

IOScope 2 comes with a new, lower price and offers some of the same new features which were recently added to SignalScope, SignalScope Pro and SoundMeter for iOS.

With IOScope, measure loudspeaker impedance, frequency response, and sensitivity. Measure a room impulse response. Tune a large sound reinforcement system, time-align a set of surround sound speakers, or optimize your home stereo. Determine the actual cutoff frequencies of your latest speaker crossover circuit, or teach your students the fundamentals of Fourier analysis of dynamic systems.

Measure frequency response magnitude and phase, coherence, and group delay. Time domain functions enable you to measure impulse response and auto/cross-correlation. IOScope includes a built-in signal generator for producing suitable excitation signals to analyze your system or device under test (DUT). The reference signal can be taken from the internal signal generator or from an external source (when using an external reference, a stereo audio input device, connected to the dock connector, is required).

IOScope also turns your iOS device into a platform for data acquisition, storing acquired data in tab-delimited text files, MAT-files, or images, including high-resolution PDF files, for later retrieval from your device.

What’s new in version 2.0?
