The new version 6.2.100 of ACQUA offers practical enhancements and optimizations that simplify your daily analysis tasks and further increase the accuracy of your measurement results.
Speech-Based Distortion Measure (ACOPT 41)
This completely new analysis option makes it possible for the first time to measure distortion using voice signals. This method was defined in ETSI standard TS 104 063 and circumvents the problem that modern communication systems often filter out artificial test signals such as sine waves or sweeps.
MDAQS (ACOPT 36/ACOPT 40)
MDAQS (Multi-Dimensional Audio Quality Score) has been updated to version 2.0. The MDAQS ACOPT 36 now includes, in addition to a generic variant, the two application-specific variants MDAQS Headphones and MDAQS Car, which are optimally adapted for headphone testing and audio quality testing in vehicles. This makes the evaluations significantly more robust and provides users with improved metrics for assessing audio quality. The MDAQS Headphones variant is also available as a stand-alone product in ACOPT 40.
Command Sequences for move°S
Close to natural communication scenarios thanks to head movements: The new Command Sequence Editor in ACQUA 6.2.100 enables highly accurate synchronization of move°S artificial head movements with audio playback and recordings. To do this, you define the rotation of the move°S in terms of starting time, position, speed, and acceleration in the Command Sequence Editor, enabling complex movement sequences to be executed during a measurement.
New A²B Product Structure
We have changed the product structure for coreA²B so that you can adapt the labCORE module even better to your application.
With the basic version coreA2B Basic (code 7791), the labCORE acts as either the main or sub node. With the help of the labCORE software extensions, you can also use the bus monitor mode (coreA2B Bus Monitor, code 7792) or proxy mode (coreA2B Proxy, code 7793).
Users can now integrate multiple coreA²B cards into a single labCORE system, including cards of different levels within the new product structure. This flexibility allows you to create more comprehensive and optimally tailored test configurations.
With these updates, ACQUA Software 6.2.100 continues to set the standard for future-proof audio quality analysis, providing you with advanced tools that allow you to easily meet the evolving requirements of the telecommunications and audio industries.
