System Performance Benchmark
Digital Sonifier
5.3 System Performance Benchmark
Each application and system configuration is slightly different. System performance will vary
when you change setup parameters and if your horn or tips change, and can affect the results
of your experiments. Creating a benchmark of your initial setup and performance can be useful
at a later date in identifying a change in performance, and can also help in recreating your exact
initial setup.
The following steps are used only to record system performance, not your experiment results.
NOTE
i

If you are using the Printer option, you may wish to print a report of the results and keep it on
file with the form.
