Audio Spectrum Viewer is an easy to use app which will show the frequency content of your live audio environment in an easy to understand waterfall / spectrogram. This tool can be used to analyze the performance of speakers and sound systems, and to create audio fingerprint images of environmental sounds such as bird songs and other animal sounds. Audio Spectrum Viewer is a powerful tool with user-selectable gain, sample rate and other parameters to optimize for a particular setting. Spectrograms can be saved to the camera roll with a timestamped and customizable caption and the audio clips can be saved for later playback. Audio can be captured in the background so you can simultaneously take photos of birds while analyzing their sounds.

About

MAPIR SCANNER

Features
Read full description

MAPIR DAQ-M modular spectroradiometer device is required. The MAPIR DAQ-M is an ultra compact Bluetooth (BLE) spectroradiometer designed as a modular unit that can be inserted into various housings to perform specific spectrum measurement functions. Housings include narrow angle of view versions designed for object reflectance measurements (field spectroradiometer) and wide angle of view versions for ambient light spectrum irradiance measurements (DLS: downwelling light sensor). While its size is compact, the features and performance is comparable to conventional industry equipment. The MAPIR SCANNER mobile application is required to view the live data stream from the MAPIR DAQ-M spectroradiometer, save the current live spectrum as well as configure the recording schedule to measure the spectrum over time. Measurements can be saved to the DAQ-M and extracted using the MAPIR SCANNER application. Once the measurements are saved to the mobile device they can be easily exported for further analysis and processing in MAPIR's software.
