Audio Precision has released v4.0 of APx500 audio test software – coinciding with the commencement of APx555 shipments, AP’s newest audio analyser.

Version 4.0 provides a multi-mode user interface for the entire APx family of analysers, adding Bench Mode to complement the software’s existing approach of user-selectable automated measurement sequences, now called Sequence Mode. APx500 software now offers easy switching between Sequence Mode’s menu of measurements and Bench Mode’s free-form, real-time operation of generator and analyser for feedback on any selected parameters.

Measurement reliability from development lab to manufacturing is important in understanding DUT (device under test) performance as it migrates from prototype to product, and APx software supports test consistency by enabling sharing of projects created in Sequence Mode.

‘While the AP team is certainly proud of the new performance level we’ve achieved with the APx555, we’re equally gratified in delivering new functionality to APx users everywhere with the release of APx500 v4.0,’ says AP President, Dave Schmoldt. ‘Even more delightful is that these new software capabilities are, with few exceptions, provided free of charge to our customers.’
