SignalScope 12.5 brings improved support for Vision Pro
Did you know that SignalScope X and all 2022 versions of SignalScope that were designed for iPad can be downloaded and run on the Apple Vision Pro? To find SignalScope in the App Store on Vision Pro, search for SignalScope and select iPhone and iPad underneath the search bar.
As of version 12.5, which was just published on the App Store for macOS and iOS/iPadOS, SignalScope offers several improvements specific to the Vision Pro:
- A nominal microphone sensitivity has been added for Vision Pro for improved accuracy when measuring sound levels. Although the Vision Pro has 6 built-in microphones, when running SignalScope the right side microphone (the closest mic to your right ear when you are wearing the Vision Pro) will be selected as the built-in microphone in measurement mode. (More info on that in the next post.)
- Zoom, pan, and swipe gestures using your hands, or Apple’s Magic Trackpad, now work as you might expect–similar to how pinch and swipe gestures work on iPad.
- SignalScope’s built-in http file server now works correctly on Vision Pro, so you can download any of your saved audio, data, or PDF files with a standard web browser on another device.
Note: These 2 images were created with the Vision Pro Simulator. The new features in SignalScope 12.5 were tested on an actual Vision Pro.
Version 12.5 of SignalScope brings other improvements for all platforms, including:
- Improved handling of data and audio files. (On newer versions of iOS, external files–e.g. on iCloud Drive–can be opened in-place instead of being copied into the app sandbox before opening.)
- Significant improvements have been made ‘under the hood’ to ensure that the app runs well on the newest operating systems.
- Another normalization option has been added to the Polar plot. Polar data can now be normalized with respect to the maximum value, rather than the value at 0 degrees.
- Other minor cosmetic and stability improvements.
