Description:
The Acoustic Laboratory Data Acquisition System (ALDAS) is an inexpensive, transportable means to digitize and analyze data. The system is based on the Macintosh 2 family of computers, with internal analog-to-digital boards providing four channels of simultaneous data acquisition at rates up to 50,000 samples/sec. The ALDAS software package, written for use with rotorcraft acoustics, performs automatic acoustic calibration of channels, data display, two types of cycle averaging, and spectral amplitude analysis. The program can use data obtained from internal analog-to-digital conversion, or discrete external data imported in ASCII format. All aspects of ALDAS can be improved as new hardware becomes available and new features are introduced into the code.
