As in recent updates to SignalScope and SignalScope Pro, SoundMeter now runs natively on iPad, as well as iPhone and iPod touch.
SoundMeter now supports drawing on an external screen with a compatible video output adapter. The original iPad supports external screen resolutions up to 720p and the iPad 2 supports resolutions as high as 1080p and even 1920×1200 with compatible hardware. Video output support is not supported on iPhone or iPod touch.
SoundMeter also supports saving the sound level display to PDF files, which can be accessed via iTunes File Sharing on a Mac or PC. The same black, blue, and white color schemes as found in SignalScope Pro 2 are also supported in SoundMeter 2.

Following in the footsteps of SignalScope Pro, SignalScope has now been enhanced for iPad users with native iPad support. SignalScope’s FFT analyzer and oscilloscope now support drawing on an external screen with a compatible video output adapter. The original iPad supports external screen resolutions up to 720p and the iPad 2 supports resolutions as high as 1080p and even 1920×1200 with compatible hardware. Video output support is not supported on iPhone or iPod touch.
SignalScope can be upgraded, via in-app purchase, to the full functionality of SignalScope Pro. Alternatively, additional tool upgrades, such as the octave-band spectrum analyzer or signal generator, may be purchased individually.
Like the Pro version, SignalScope now supports PDF file creation, in-app file previews, iTunes File Sharing, and three different color schemes.

The SignalScope Pro experience has now been greatly enhanced for iPad users with native iPad support. Native iPad support also includes the ability to present analyzer displays on an external screen with a compatible video output adapter. The original iPad supports external screen resolutions up to 720p and the iPad 2 supports resolutions as high as 1080p and even 1920×1200 with compatible hardware. Video output support is not supported on iPhone or iPod touch.
iPhone and iPod touch users also benefit from new features in SignalScope Pro 2.0. In addition to saving analyzer plots to jpeg image files, users can now save plots in high-resolution PDF files. All data files can be retrieved through iTunes with iTunes file sharing, and certain files (including text data files and PDF files) can now be previewed within SignalScope Pro. Users will still have the option of downloading data files from their iOS device using a standard web browser.
Other new features in SignalScope Pro include color schemes and a full-screen mode for analyzers viewed in landscape orientation. SignalScope Pro now supports three color schemes, which include blue and white backgrounds, in addition to the traditional black. Users wishing to print their PDF plots will appreciate the option to save their PDFs with a white background for producing high quality printed documents with minimal ink or toner.

Both SignalScope 3.0 and SignalSuite 4.0 became available for download on the Mac App Store, today. The availability of these two apps marks the successful transition of all of Faber Acoustical’s Mac apps to the new App Store. Both apps feature an improved user interface and require Mac OS X, version 10.6. Use of the Mac App Store requires at least Mac OS 10.6.6.
SignalScope 3 builds on SignalScope’s tradition of award-winning design and precision measurement capabilities by building on advanced technology developed for Faber Acoustical’s flagship product, Electroacoustics Toolbox.
SignalScope is a modularized, multi-channel dynamic signal analyzer and data acquisition platform for Mac. It brings powerful tools to the Macintosh platform for multi-channel, audio-band data acquisition and real-time analysis of electrical, acoustical, and electroacoustic signals and systems. The software is designed to work with any Mac-compatible audio hardware and supports multiple channels of 8, 16, 24, or 32-bit data with sample rates as high as the hardware will support.
New functionality in SignalScope includes the option to perform arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication, on two arbitrary input channels of an audio input device. Users can also specify arbitrary FFT lengths and view live spectrogram data with a logarithmic frequency scale. Two of each type of analysis tool can be opened and operated simultaneously.

Version 4 continues SignalSuite’s tradition of offering tremendous flexibility in an audio test signal generator. The new version adds support for up to two stereo signal generators to be operated simultaneously.
Audio Unit generator support opens up endless possibilities for additional signal types. This includes signals stored in standard audio files, which can be now played within SignalSuite by using the AUAudioFilePlayer plug-in included with Mac OS X. It also opens up the option to play back signals sent across a network from another computer, via the AUNetSend/AUNetReceive plug-ins, which are also included with Mac OS X.

SignalScope Pro 3.0 for Mac OS 10.6 is now available for download on the Mac App Store.
Faber Acoustical has announced the release of SignalScope Pro 3.0. The latest release of Faber Acoustical’s most popular acoustical test and measurement toolset for Mac is now available for purchase in the Mac App Store. Version 3 of SignalScope Pro features an enhanced user interface, better control over audio device configurations, and more comprehensive user preferences.
SignalScope Pro offers a suite of tools on the Mac for dynamic and real-time signal analysis, data acquisition, and automated testing. SignalScope Pro was designed for researchers, educators, consultants, and advanced hobbyists. Despite its power and flexibility, SignalScope Pro provides an intuitive user interface that enables even complex measurements to be configured within a few minutes. Those measurement configurations can then be saved and reloaded when the need arises.

New functionality in SignalScope Pro includes the option to perform arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication, on two arbitrary input channels of an audio input device. Users can also specify arbitrary FFT lengths and view live spectrogram data in 3D with a logarithmic frequency scale. Two of each type of analysis tool can be opened and operated simultaneously.
Minimum Requirements:
* Intel-based Mac
* Requires Mac OS 10.6 or later
Pricing and Availability:
SignalScope Pro 3.0 is now available for download on the Mac App Store for $199.99 (USD) in the Utilities category. Those who wish to try SignalScope Pro before they buy are welcome to download a free 30-day trial. SignalScope Pro 2 users can upgrade to version 3 for $99 at our online store.
