Test engineers can make a broad range of voltage, resistance, current, frequency, and distortion measurements, all with the same compact, half-rack measurement instrument. The Model 216 and 216-P have twice the sine wave generator output of the Model 215 for applications that require test signals greater than 8Vrms. The Model 215-P and 216-P offer additional processing capacity for frequency spectrum analysis. Frequency Domain Distortion Analysis For applications such as assessing non-linear distortion in components, devices, and systems, DSPbased processing allows the Models 215-P, 215, 216, and 216-P to provide frequency domain analysis in conventional time domain instruments. They can measure Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) over the complete 2Hz to 2kHz audio band. They also measure over a wide input range (up to 75Vrms) and have low residual distortion ( 87dB). The THD reading can be expressed either in decibels or as a percentage. In addition to THD, the Models 215, 215-P, 216, and 216-P can compute THD+Noise and Signalto-Noise plus Distortion (SINAD). For analyses in which the individual harmonics are the criteria of greatest interest, the instruments can report any of the (up to 64) harmonic magnitudes that can be included in the distortion measurements. The user can program the actual number of harmonics to be included in a computation, so accuracy, speed, and complexity can be optimized for a specific application. (See Figure 1.) Figure 1.

A square wave s spectral content consists of only odd harmonics whose magnitudes are (1/harmonic number the magnitude of the fundamental). For example, the magnitude of the third harmonic is 1 3 the magnitude of the fundamental. 31

Transducer Total Harmonic Distortion Analysis and Frequency Response of a Portable Wireless Telecommunication Device Source Device Under Test Input Transducer Signal Input Model 215, 215-P, 216, or 216-P Figures 2, 3, and 4 demonstrate how the Model 215, 215-P, 216, or 216-P can provide both time domain and frequency domain measurements in a single test protocol. Figure 2 shows a sample test system schematic with a telecommunication device in a loop back mode test. The Audio Analyzing DMM s source provides a stimulus frequency sweep, and the Audio Analyzing DMM measures the response from the microphone circuit. Figure 3 shows the resulting frequency domain analysis of the THD and the first three harmonics as a function of frequency. Figure 4 shows the time domain analysis of microphone circuit output voltage as a function of frequency. Figure 3. Figure 4.

Accessories Supplied Model 1751 Safety Test Leads, User Manual, Service Manual. 2 1 1 1 Optimized for Production Testing The Models 215, 215-P, 216, and 216-P can perform fast frequency sweeps for characterizing audio-band circuitry in production test systems. For example, the instruments can execute a single sweep of 3 frequencies and transmit both rms voltage readings and THD readings to a computer in only 1.1 seconds. With that data, a complete frequency response analysis and a harmonic distortion vs. frequency analysis can be performed in a very short time. Thus high speed testing of the audio performance of a high volume device such as a cellular telephone can be performed without reducing the number of tests or reducing the measurements in each test. With these instruments, which are optimized for production testing, test engineers can lower test times, in comparison to test speeds achievable with general purpose audio analyzers, without sacrificing production test quality. Dual Source The Models 215, 215-P, 216, and 216-P include an internal audio band sine wave source for generating stimulus signals. A second output, the inverse of the first output, is also available, simplifying the testing of differential input circuits for common mode or noise cancellation performance.

For tests that require a higher stimulus signal, the Model 216 and 216-P provide a 9.5Vrms single-ended output and a 19Vrms differential output. Wide Selection of Audio Filters Five industry-standard bandpass filters are provided for shaping the input signal for audio and telecommunication applications. Available filters include the CCITT weighting filter, CCIR filter, C-message filter, CCIR/ARM filter, and A weighting filter (see Figures 5a 5e). The Models 215, 215- P, 216, and 216-P provide programmable, high cutoff (low pass) and low cutoff (high pass) filters. Furthermore, the two filters can be implemented together to form a bandpass filter. The programmable filters can be used to filter out noise generated by electromechanical machinery on the production floor or to simulate other types of system transmission characteristics. Broad Measurement Flexibility In addition to their THD, THD+Noise, SINAD, and individual harmonic measurement capabilities, the instruments provide a comprehensive set of DMM functions, including DCV, ACV, DCI, ACI, 2WΩ, 4WΩ, temperature, frequency, period, db, dbm, and continuity measurements, as well as diode testing. This multi-functional design minimizes added equipment costs when configuring test setups. 33

215, 215-P, 6 1 2-Digit THD Multimeters 216, 216-P 6 1 2-Digit Audio Analyzing Multimeters Wide Band or Narrow Band Noise Measurements The Models 215, 215-P, 216, and 216-P are capable of measuring both wide band noise and narrow band noise. Alternatively, these instruments DSP (digital signal processing) capabilities allow users to make frequency domain measurements of RMS voltage noise over the 2Hz 2kHz frequency audio band or a narrow portion of the band. Furthermore, noise measurements can be extracted in the presence of a stimulus signal for fast signal-to-noise computations. Spectrum Analysis The Model 215-P and 216-P have internal computational capabilities that allow them to characterize an acquired signal spectrum. These instruments can identify and report the frequency and amplitude of the highest value in a complete spectrum or within a specified frequency band. It can also identify additional peaks in descending order of magnitude. The Model 215-P s and 216-P s on-board capabilities make it simple to obtain a thorough analysis of a frequency spectrum more quickly and with little or no need for external analysis software.
