The system measures impedance and extracts loudspeaker parameters or passive component (R, L, and C) values in just seconds and even includes our unique impedance based Rub and Buzz test. DATS includes a second test mode featuring a general purpose signal generator and oscilloscope working in tandem. The scope and generator combination provides a powerful general purpose audio test set extending beyond the capability of previous generations of woofer testers. When used with the DATS hardware the oscilloscope monitors the DATS generator output. When standard audio interfaces are available the input to the oscilloscope can be switched to another device to allow the monitoring of arbitrary input signals in addition to the DATS generator output.
DATS V2 features a redesigned audio interface unit with an upgraded CODEC and instant-on behavior. The new DATS V2 system uses the default Windows settings so that no adjustments are required. In order to take advantage of the system’s inherent accuracy the tolerance of the supplied calibration resistor has been tightened from ±1% to ±0.1% to deliver typical accuracy of better than ±0.5% on measurements in the critical range between 1 Ohm and 1k Ohms.
In addition to the hardware improvements DATS V2 software adds new capabilities including:
