An audio measuring system featuring low noise, a high accuracy, and an excellent measuring efficiency can be built by combining the signal source and the various measuring functions. As Figure 1-1 shows, this instrument extensively incorporates digital control technique. The VP-723A is designed for fully-automatic measurement such as automatic ranging, automatic tuning, and output of measured data. The audio analyzer has versatile functions as follows : a preset’ function to preset up to 100 sets of measuring conditions, a limit judgment function for PASS/ FAIL judgment of measured results, an auto-sequence function to automatically recall preset memory in sequence, @ printer output function to output measured results to a printer. It also equips the GP-18, and EXT CONTROL 1/0 interfaces as standard facilities Therefore, the VP-7723A Audio Analyzer is used in research and development, as well as in production and inspection lines of audio equipment, and also widely applied as a component in automatic measuring systemGENERAL EXT CONTROL 1/0 ts Operation and Display Section, Control Section, Memory, Interfaces U Wow’ and Flutter Frequency Counter] | Measurement Section (Option co | Extremely low-distortion noe IRC Oscillator NOTCH HPF LF psoRHO a rons 7AVG VW J “™\ im /\ = | a | 6 6 © © © OSC OUT ACINPUT OC INPUT MONITOR OUTPUT 0¢ OUTPUT Figure 1-1 Configuration of VP-7723A Measurement Section ‘AC level measurement HH frreaueney Frccsrement j [DC level measurement Relative level indication |i $/N measurement UY i n functi i ac oxilator : [WATT indication function |} i [Total distortion }——1—Frequency measurement |} Penton measurement ; OV rms max.

The oscillator adopts a bridged-T type oscillation system with a frequency range from SHz to 110kHz. The maximum output of this signal Generator is 5Vims across 2 600.2 load (10V rms at an open end). The output is adjustable in 0.1-48 steps by an output attenuator of total 99.9 d8. The output can be set in dBV "1 or dom *2. Either of these output units can be selected. The distortion ratio is 0.001% or less (80 kHz BW) in the range of 20Hz to 1SkHz. 4-5. MEASUREMENT SECTION The measurement section of this instrument has the following basic measurement functions 1) Frequency measurement 2) AC level measurement 3) Total distortion measurement 4) Signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) measurement 5) DC level measurement 6) Wow & flutter measurement (option) The following paragraphs 1-6 to 1-11 de- scribe the general features of each measurement function. 1-6 FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT This instrument contains a reciprocal frequency counter for high-speed and high GENERAL resolution measurement of low frequency signals. Input signal periods are measured with an accuracy of 5x 10-5 using the reference time base of 8 MHz (1251s), and are displayed in frequency after performing division calculation by a microprocessor. Frequencies ranging from 5 Hz to 110 kHz can be measured in all the measurement modes except the DC level measurement 4-7, AC LEVEL MEASUREMENT The instrument is used as a high-sensi y that permits a selection of average-responding or rms-responding characteristics *3 AC voltmeter The measurement range is divided into seven sub-ranges as follows: 0.316 mV, 3.16 mV, 31.6 mV, 316 mV, 3.16V, 31.6V, and 100V fr. d. (f.r.d, =full range display). At least 10% of over-range is provided for each range except the 100.0V range. The measurement indication units that can be selected are VimV), dBV, and dam. Since internal residual noise is 10 pV or less, the measurable range of this instrument is approximately 30 nV to 100 Vrms (~90 to 40 dBV or 88 to 42 dBm) *4 The range selection can be automatically or manually. made 1 Od8V=1Vims across 600.2 load. “dBV" is read merely as “dB” on the front panel marking of the instrument, "2 0d8m= 1 mW into 6002 load. The units of “dBV" and “dBm” are used to distinguish the voltage and power level from the generally used “d8" unit to express relative ratio such as S/N and distortion. *3. The response characteristics can be selected in AC level, distortion, and S/N measurement functions. The response characteristics of input signal level measurement in distortion and wow & flutter measurements are fixed to rms-responding. Response character ics of wow & flutter measurement are quasi-peak-responding for option 01 and rms-responding for option 02. *4 The specification of internal residual noise is 10 pV or less with 500kHz BW or 4 yV with BOkHz BW. Thus, if the 80kHz LPF contained in this instrument is turned on, the AC level measureable range will be extended down to 10 nV.GENERAL Two additional functions for AC level measurement are the relative level measurement and the WATT indication functions. The relative level measurement function indicates a relative level to a reference level in d8. The measurable range of this function is £130 dB *1 This function is useful for measurement of fre quency characteristics, level ratio, and S/N ratio, The WATT indication function calculates wattage with the following expression using AC level measured value and an assumptive load resistance R.*2, WATT=(AC level measured value)2/R. (1-1) 4-8 TOTAL DISTORTION MEASUREMENT This instrument measures distortion with the fundamental frequency range of 5Hz to 110 kHz as defined in the following = DISTN = Vagivegis Foyt e276, 100%] (1-2) or DISTN = 20log (Vega egi4 .-- ¥enT+ O27) [AB] 1-3) Where ein: rms value of input signal level ey: tms value of the Nth harmoni N= 2,3, @n: rms value of noise contained in the signal This instrument measures frequencies of input signals and automatically tunes the center frequency of the fundamental-rejection filter. Wide and sharp characteristics are obtained due to a multi-stage filter circuit with low noise and low distortion. It enables to measure signals with some frequency fluctuations while providing the measurement capability of distortion factors of 0.001% (-100dB, 80 kHz BW) or less. The measurement is made in five ranges from 0.01% to 31.6% f.1.d. where the automatic ranging is performed. Though the input signal level range in normal distortion measurement is 0.1 to 100 Vrms, the high- sensitive input range of 3.16 mV f.1.d. is also provided to measure the dynamic range of digital audio equipment. For distortion measurement, both input sig nal level and noise / distortion signal level are converted into DC voltage by each detection circuit, and then into digital data by an A/D converter. These two data are ratio-calculated by a microprocessor, to obtain a distortion factor. The reference level setting operation often used in conventional distortion meters is not required. The input signal level obtained in the detection circuit is read on the display together with the measurement result of the distortion, The detection circuit of the input signal level_has rms-responding characteristics while the detection circuit of the noise and distortion components can select either rms- or average- responding characteristics. The bandwidth of the measuring system is 5Hz to 500 kHz. In distortion measurements, input signals containing a large amount of noise are handied, disabling frequency measurement and making automatic ranging operation unstable. The tuning frequency of ‘the fundamental-rejection filter, input signal level range, and distortion factor measurement range can be fixed independently to avoid these effects Figure 1-3 typical distor characteristics when the signal generator and distortion measuring section of this instrument are directly connected. sometimes shows ‘1 The input voltage range that can be handled in the relative level measurement function is also approximately 30 pV to 100 Vrms (-90 to 40dBV or ~88 to 42.d8m). range of the relative level depends on the spe The measurement ied value of the reference level. For example, if the reference level is 10 Vrms (+20dBV), the measurable range of the relative level is varied between +20 and ~ 11048. *2 The assumptive load resistance R. does not mean that a load resistor is actually contained within this instrument. 1-4 The Ri value is specified merely for calculation.GENERAL () ox input rage 3.16V Input level 3.16 UNBAL 0.01 Distortio 0.001 THD +N 1 =A feet 80 kHz BW 0.0001 10 100 1k 10k 100k Frequency (Hz) Figure 1-3 Typical overall distortion characteristics 1-9 S/N MEASUREMENT The S/N ratio can be obtained by calculat ing the ratio between the signal (5) and noise (N) components: The S component is obtained by applying a signal to the object to be measured to measure its output level, and the N component is measured by disconnecting the applied signal and terminating the input termi nal of the object to be measured by a charac- teristic impedance. In the S/N measurement function of this instrument, ON and OFF of the signal generator output and measurements of the Sand N component signal levels are automatically synchro- nized so that the measurement can be performed by merely pressing the S/N measurement key. As measurement results, the $ component signal level and the S signal frequency are displayed together with S/N ratio simulta neously. The S/N measurement is a measurement of both S and N components in AC level measurement and a calculation of the S/N ratio. Thus the $ and N components that can be measured are approximately 30 pV to 100 Vrms as in AC level measurement. (However, S component 2 N component.) Residual noise is 10 pV or less as in AC level measurement. The range of the $/N ratio that can be measured: depends on the S component signal level. For example, S/N ratio of 130 dB or greater can be measured for the S component signal level of 31.6Vrms. The S/N mea surement range decreases 10 dB for every 10dB reduced in this $ component signal level. The range constructions of $ and N component signal level measurements are the same as that of ‘AC level measurement. The automatic and manual ranging can be performed for both S and N component measurements. The S/N measurement is shown in Figure 1-4 conducted asGENERAL S component N component SLOW/ FAST key 215/36) (RESPONSE block) | t Signal source Signal source Sov | one : 7 slow 3 seconds output ON output OFF 2 “ Measurement starts Figure 1-4 S/N measurement 4-10. DC LEVEL MEASUREMENT This instrument allows to measure the DC voltage. The measurement range is divided into four ranges as follows: 316.0 mV, 3.160 V, 31.60.V, and 100.0V f.r.d. At least 10% of over-range is provided for each range except the 100.0V range. The range selection can be made automatically or manually. 4-11 WOW & FLUTTER MEASUREMENT (OPTION 01, 02) Option 01 has the wow & flutter measurement function with the quasi-peak responding characteristics conforming to the IEC, DIN, and EIAJ standards. Option 02 has the function with the rms-responding characteristics conforming to JIS. Two measurement center frequencies of both option 1 and option 2 are available at 3 and 3.15kHz. Turning on or off psophometric weighting is selectable. ‘As measurement results, the frequency and the input level are displayed with the measured value simultaneously The input signal level is 0.1 to 100 Vrms, and the measurement range is divided into three: 10.00%, 1.000%, and 0.1000 %. 4-12 MEASUREMENT FILTERS The eight types of measurement filters are internally provided to insert into the measurement system in the AC level, distortion, and $/ N ratio measurements. They are two types of high-pass filters, three types of low-pass filters, and three types of noise evaluation filters. In addition to them, one type of each low-pass filter and noise evaluation filter are available’ as optional accessories. Figure 1-5 shows the characteristics of the internally provided filters.GENERAL 8 8), ° HPF roo ae LPF ae 80 ke 200 Hz i 15 ktiz_| Il Ler -20 20 kite -30 40 / =50 10 100 1k 10k 100k Frequency (Ha) (@) Low-pass and high-pass filters (ce) 10 Co 0 Nt aa 7" ri -20 30 40 \ 50 \ 10 100 1k 10k 100k Frequency (he) (b) Noise evaluation filters Figure 1-5 Characteristics of internally provided filtersGENERAL 1-13, ADDITIVE FUNCTIONS The following three functions are provided for more convenient use of this instrument in addition to the basic measuring functions : 1) Preset function 2) Limit judgment function 3) EXT CONTROL 1/0 function Each of these functions is outlined below. 4-14 PRESET FUNCTION This function will be useful if measurement setups have been determined. Oscillator frequency, output amplitude, measuring function selection, filter selection, and other setups of this instrument can be stored in registers as one set of data. By recalling these registers as required, the setups can be reproduced at a time. One hundred setups can be stored in total ‘The auto sequence function is also provided to automatically recall the memory in sequence at any desired time interval 4-15. LIMIT JUDGMENT FUNCTION In some applications such as production pro- cesses, it is often required to perform PASS / FAIL judgment for certain limit range. Limit judgment function sets upper and lower limit values for each measuring function, and gives warning by turning on “OVER" or "UNDER" LED when measured values exceed the specified limit values. This function can be used more effectively when combined with the preset function, 4-16 EXT CONTROL 1/0 FUNCTION The EXT CONTROL 1/0 connector on the rear panel of this instrument offers the following functions, 1) Remote sequence recall Remote controls the memory sequence recall function externally. 2) Remote modify Remote controls the modifications of signal source frequency and the signal source output amplitude by an external rotary encod- er. 1-8 3) Remote direct recall Remote controls the memory direct recall function externally. 4) Limit judgment output Gives external LED lighting output to repre- sent the limit judgment result. 5) Control output Gives the TTL output signal of 8 bits x 2 ports to control external equipment. 6) Printing output for memory (list output) Outputs the contents of preset memory to a printer. 7) Data read Reads externally applied &-bit TTL input signal with the GP-IB controller. 8) Data print Outputs measured values to a printer. 4-17 MEMORY SYNC AND MEMORY COPY FUNCTIONS The memory sync function is provided to recall preset memory contents of several instruments simultaneously in the talk-only / listen- only mode of the GP-IB interface. The memory copy function allows this instrument to transfer the contents of memory to another VP-7723A. 1-18 FLOATING CONNECTION AND BALANCED INPUT The common lines of the signal source and the measuring section can be separately floated from the frame of this instrument to avoid the problem of ground-loop caused by interconnec- tion of devices during measurement of low level signals or low distortion. nes are marked as 7 and YY on the panel to distinguish from the frame ground (L). The common line v of the measuring section can be connected directly to the frame ground with a switch The balanced input is also available to match objects to be measured with floating output terminals such as BTL amplifiers.
