16. DIGICheck
: Analysis, Tests and Measurements using the DIGI9636
The DIGICheck software is a unique utility developed for testing, measuring and analysing
digital audio streams. DIGICheck is a subset of functions included in our well-known DAM-1
(Digital Audio Monitor). DIGICheck is not capable of all the DAM-1 functions, because the latter
uses a built-in DSP for its calculations. By its very nature, DIGICheck uses up processor time,
while the DAM-1 unit will run perfectly in the background.
Although the DIGICheck software is fairly self-explanatory, it still includes a comprehensive
online help. A detailed description of all functions is also available in HTML format (digich.htm,
in the
\techinfo
directory on the RME Driver CD or from our website). The following is a short
summary of the available functions:
•
Level Meter
. High precision 24-bit resolution, 2/8/18 channels. Application examples: Peak
level measurement, RMS level measurement, over-detection, phase correlation
measurement, dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratios, RMS to peak difference
(loudness), long term peak measurement, input check.
•
Bit Statistics
. Shows the true resolution of audio signals as well as errors and DC offset.
•
Performance Test
. Measures overall system performance (co DIGI9636)
•
Memory Test
. Tests the DIGI hardware and the entire audio data path in the PC
DIGICheck is suitable for any card in the DIGI96 series. However, the Hammerfall does not
support Channel Status data, which is why the
Channel Status Display
is not available.
To install DIGICheck, go to the
\DIGICheck
directory on the RME Driver CD and run
setup.exe
.
Follow the instructions prompted on the screen.
17. Accessories
RME offers several optional components, further increasing the flexibility and usability of the
Hammerfall system. Additionally parts of the Hammerfall, like the special adapter cable, are
available seperately.
