| Unmatched Performance, Simplified |
|
Cascade Plus offers the best THD+N specification
available-at -112 dBas well as the 6-7 dB residual distortion
reduction required for high-level converter testing. The
Programmable Serial Interface Adapter option eliminates the
need to build your own interface to test those audio products
with non-standard or proprietary interfaces. Time previously
spent building an interface can be spent getting your product
to market faster.
The Harmonic Distortion Analyzer provides insight into
a variety of circuit malfunctions, allowing an engineer or
technician to isolate circuit problems and fix them quickly.
The Multitone Analyzer-an FFT analyzer coupled with an
arbitrary waveform generator-performs a variety of performance
tests quickly.
The Serial Digital Interface Analyzer has a 30 MHz
analyzer as well as an error generator that measures and
displays the digital interface signal, and tests a circuit's
ability to perform in the presence of jitter.
With PC-based functionality, Cascade Plus lets you
leverage your existing PC investment and gives you a familiar
interface to: |
- Monitor
instruments
- Graphically display test data
- Manage
files for test setups
- Easily
share and archive data
- Generate
reports with your preferred word processing application
- Export
test data to analysis programs---such as MATLAB ---for
extended analysis; and
- Deploy
with its capturing feature to create and run test
sequences---without extensive programming experience.

| The
PC-based Cascade Plus lets you enjoy the longevity of Audio
Precision test and measurement equipment without sacrificing
the regular performance upgrades available with the PC
platform. | |

| Reach
Your Market Faster |
| The Multitone Analyzer in Cascade Plus carries out five
performance tests in less than one second-all in one
acquisition. It eliminates errors by providing a comprehensive
set of answers to your performance questions with one easy
setup. By decreasing the time spent on finding and fixing
circuit problems, you can decrease your time to market. With
its PC-based format, the Cascade Plus also lets you keep pace
with the increasing speed of the PC platform. By verifying
your design's compatibility with non-ideal signal
environments, the Serial Digital Interface Analyzer feature on
Cascade Plus saves you from spending time solving
interoperability problems during implementation. And by
eliminating the need to build your own non-standard product
test interface, the Programmable Serial Interface Adapter
option gets you to market quickly. |

| Standard-Setting Quality |
|
The Cascade Plus offers high-performance audio testing
and measurement. Because it sets the standards during the
early research and development phase, Cascade Plus saves you
time and money during the implementation and sales phase. By
getting you to market faster, Cascade Plus allows for quicker
return on investment on your developments. And by leveraging
your existing PCs, Cascade Plus increases your asset
utilization, helping to improve your design's financial
performance.
The Dual Domain capabilities of Cascade Plus provide
uncompromised performance in both analog and digital
domains-unlike instruments whose analog capability consists of
A/D and D/A converters to and from a basic digital core. The
state-of-the-art analog hardware in Cascade Plus reaches -112
dB residuals outperforming today's best converters, which can
approach about -110 dB performance.
The Cascade Plus add-on options-the AES-17 lowpass
filter and the Programmable Serial Interface Adapter save you
time and money otherwise spent on verifying your design,
solving compatibility problems and building your own
interfaces. | |
