Description:
The HandDee Spectrum Analyzer generates real-time fading frequency spectrum or scrolling
spectrogram on the pocket PC. An intelligent wave monitor window gives you a stable
waveform display. The fading spectrum or spectrogram plot provides fine controls of LOG/linear
scale, wide/narrow band analysis and long/short time averaging. Smart peaking envelopes are
provided for music monitor and audio system calibration respectively. HandDee features
makes speaker system frequency response curve plotting a snap. Other HandDee functions
such as background sound removal fix any noise in the environment and inside the PocketPC
microphone circuit.

| Features: |
Hightlight
- Works with MediaPlayer and most MP3 players running in the background (Model dependent).
- Waveform, fundamental frequency information readout, plus either spectrum analyzer or spectrogram display.
- Fast update rate. Normally about 6-20 spectrum plots per second depending on Pocket PC model.
- HandDee one-touch background sound removal substracts background sound level to reveal the real signal.
- The program intelligently subtracts white noise in the environment as well as digitising noise and
interference in the microphone circuitry of the Pocket PC.
- HandDee one-touch auto dB ranging let¡¦s you get the best view of the spectrum.
- Fading effects reveals trends in waveform and spectrum plots.
- Transition effect has excellent quality and is even better than long persistence phosphor used
in oscilloscopes.
- Pause function for detailed inspection of waveform, spectrogram or spectrum display.
- Support for Xscale, ARM, MIPS (Casio E-115 & E-125) andSH3 (HP 5xx) machines.
- Small program size.

- Smooth scrolling of spectrogram across screen.
- Analyzer settings
|
- HandDee automatic start program in last option settings.
- Selectable 11KHz or 22KHz (11KHz only for PPC2002 models) sampling rate.
- LOG/linear frequency scale selection.
- Adjustable dB range from 0-100dB.
- Turn on/off dB scale and grid lines.
- HandDee preset analysis parameters for frequency and time
averaging.
- Narrow band frequency analysis for accurate pitch measurement.
- General purpose medium band frequency analysis in monitoring
musical performance or recordings.
- Wide band frequency analysis to clearly see the formant
peaks of vowel sound.
- Short time averaging to detect transient or one-time events.
- Medium time averaging follows music changes quickly while
smoothing out noise and vibrato.
- Long time averaging shows persistent sound and general
background noise level.

Application:
|
Applications:
- PocketPC recording noise identification and removal
-
Set TIME AVERAGE to MEDIUM or LONG, FREQ SCALE to
LINEAR, select SPECTRUM ANALYZER display, then
turn on frequency and dB grid by tapping on the
respective bottom icons. Spectral peaks of
frequency and amplitude of pocketPC internal
sampling noise becomes clear. Tab background noise
ubtraction icon. The spectral peaks will disappear.
- Plot Hi-Fi or speaker system frequency response profile
-
Download and play ¡§Frequency sweep.wma¡¨ Sound
Test File in endless loop using Media Player.
Feed audio output to speaker system or headphone.
Set TIME AVERAGE to SHORT, FREQ RESOLUTION to
MEDIUM (for PPC) or SHORT (PPC2002), PEAK
PROFILING to CALIBRATE, adjust volume until a
large amplitude waveform without peak clipping
is shown in the upper screen. In a few seconds,
the peaking envelop gives the frequency response
profile of the audio system. Select LOG or
LINEAR scale to see clearly the low and high
frequency response.
- Detect persistent noise of audio studio
-
Set TIME AVERAGE to LONG and PEAK PROFILING to
CALIBRATE. Select SPECTRUM ANALYZER display.
Switch between LOG freq scale to detect hums and
LINEAR freq scale to discover buzz noise. When
suspect noise is found, move the PocketPC around
to find the location of maximum noise amplitude
where the source of noise is. Take readings of
the noise amplitude, remove suspect noise source
and see whether the noise amplitude has reduced.
- Setting up for vocal training
-
Set TIME AVERAGE to SHORT or MEDIUM and FREQ
RESOLUTION to NARROW or MEDIUM. Select
SPECTROGRAM display. Keep quiet and tab on the
noise subtraction icon to remove internal
sampling noise that clutters the spectrogram.
Then sing at the loudest level and tab the Auto
sB range setting icon.
- Setting up for music enjoyment
-
Play your favorite music using Media Player or
other audio players. Start HandDee Spectrum
Analyzer. Set PEAK PROFILING to MUSIC. Select
SPECTRUM ANALYZER display. The PocketPC becomes
a Hi-Fi with real-time spectrum analyzer.
Alternatively, you can play music from your
computer or Hi-Fi and the PocketPC becomes a
signal monitor.
