Sound measurement

Post by chunkong »

Hi,

May I know which instrument and software can do the measurement of sound?

The microphone that I am going to use is with BNC connector and I want to do FFT as well.

Hi chunkong,

If you want to perform a Spectrum plot using an FFT then you will need to use PicoScope 6 software (which you can download, for Windows 10, from here: https://www.picotech.com/downloads/_lig ... icoscope-6, and which is free to use, subject to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement on page 4 of the User Guide here: https://www.picotech.com/download/manua ... -guide.pdf).

If you want to capture sound from a microphone, to analyze, then you can use any PicoScope or the DrDaq Data Logger. The best device for your measurement, that is the lowest cost, will depend upon the reason why you want to measure the sound captured by the microphone.

So, if you can tell me the reason why you want to measure the sound waveform, its frequency Spectrum, and what you are hoping to learn from the measurement, then I can recommend a device for you.

Regards,
