Features STEST60 Loudspeaker Test (STEST) 6.6.3
 
Test types:
- Time Test (ETC)
- Frequency Test (TDS)
 
Test types (with pass/fail window option):
- Frequency response
- Harmonic tracking
- Impedance vs. frequency
- Phase response
- FFT
- Harmonic distortion
- THD
- THD plus noise
 
Test sequence:
A specific production sequence can contain from one to 30 lines of screen text, buzz tests and remote triggering along with the above test types in any order or combination.
 
Primary features:
- Operator or engineer mode
- View detail of each measurement
- Smoothing of data and pass/fail limits
- Tracking by serial number information
- Output can be ported to screen, disk or printer
- Statistical information on each model or batch
- Password protection for Engineer mode
- Multiple methods of establishing pass/fail limits
- Site license available
 
Modes of operation:
Operator mode:
This mode is used by an operator performing routine automated testing. Options available in Operator mode are limited to those designed into the test by the engineer.
Engineer mode:
This mode is used by quality assurance and engineering personnel who design and supervise the individual measurements and tests that make up overall product testing.
 
Pass/fail limits:
Pass/fail limits can be created in various ways:
- Setting an envelope in a specified range above and below a referenced loudspeaker
- Statistical analysis of the measurements of a batch of loudspeakers
- Using the cursor to draw any arbitrary limits
Once a pass/fail limit is created, it can be modified manually by the use of a cursor.
 
Operator mode-main menu commands:
1.) Select test
2.) Do test
3.) Set delay
4.) Set amp level
5.) Graph display (on-off)
6.) Saved for future commands
7.) Statistics
8.) Keyboard/barcode input
9.) Stop test
10.) Quit
Selections 3, 4, 7 and 8 can be enabled or disabled at the option of the engineer.
 
Bar code reader:
To gather information, start tests
 
Overlays:
For data gathered in one specific test type; engineer mode only
 
Difference mode:
Shows the difference between a measurement and the data in reference memory
 
External Trigger:
External devices can be triggered through a parallel port on the computer
