In modern world tablet PCs or smartphones are playing greater role in our lives. Devices, comparable in power with personal computers, gained a big part of the consumer market, supplanting PCs. For general consumer mobile devices completely replaced the functionality of PC, but specific tasks are still mostly solved using computers. It mostly happens because of the lack of necessary software. Our company goes with the times and offers its customers the possibility of using mobile devices for sound measuring and analysing. We have developed an application for spectral analysis of sound for iOS. The application Measuring Center is simplified version of the program for PC, but it still has its reach functionality. The interface of the program is intuitive and easy to use. It supports both the wired Spl-Lab devices (USB BASS Meter, USB RTA Meter, etc.) and wireless devices, such Next-LCD(WiFi) or Next-USB(WiFi). Also you can make measurements using build-it microphone of your phone or tablet! Functions: Build-it mic support for AFC measurements Measuring the amplitude-frequency characteristic (AFC) of a signal - displaying the spectrum Displaying the signal waveform Measuring the Total harmonic distortion (THD) Measuring the sound pressure level (SPL, dB Drag, IdBL, ESPL, AMT, etc) Linear, logarithmic and octave view of spectrum Measuring the amplitude and frequency of the peak values of the spectrum Measuring average level of sound pressure in time (Bassrace, Bass Boxing, AMT SPL-Show, etc) Measuring the average in time and whole spectrum sound pressure level (SQL) Supports the wired and wireless Spl-Lab devices
