Chirp
Characteristics and use
A Chirp is the name for a signal whose frequency continually
changes over time (also known as continuous sweep). It is used
for the recording of frequency responses, the measurement of
impulse responses and the acoustic assessment of rooms.
Starting the Chirp signal
1. Select the START
symbol with the rotary wheel.
If this is activated, it turns into a STOP symbol , which
will end the test signal when selected.
Chirp Signal modes
Using the “MODE” symbol, you can run the test signal in the
following modes:
Once-only
: Plays the test signal once.
Continuous
: Repeats the test signal after an adjustable
pause (tPAUSE).
