How can I measure the hertz in a wave form?

How can I measure the hertz in a wave form?

As an example, this is from BBC Technical Requirements for HD material:
3.1.1 Stereo line-up tones
All stereo tracks must use EBU 1KHz tone (left ident). All tones must be sinusoidal, free of distortion and phase coherent between channels.
Digital Audio Reference level is defined as 18dB below the maximum coding value (-18dBFS) as per EBU recommended practice R68.
See also:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/dq/pdf/tv/tv_delivery_to_network_programmes_v1.2-2011.pdf
for full document.
And for BBC Radio:
Not every Network requires tone. Check the delivery requirements with the commissioning network or click here.
Reference tone, where used, should be at -18dBFS or PPM 4 on A, B and/or M.
If submitting material with reference tone, tone and programme material must be have been monitored and measured through the same technical chain. The level of the tone must be equivalent to 0dBu and no less than 8dB below peak audio level for the programme material.
THE LEVEL OF TONE MUST HAVE A KNOWN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME MATERIAL AND THIS MUST BE STATED; for example: “Tone at 8dB below peak programme level”.
As a newcomer to digital sound (my background is camera) I confess to being somewhat confused. We are normally told to record at the highest level possible. So for voice podcasts I tend to record at about -6dB below peak for maximum volume, distributeds on MP3 files.
But I can underatand that televison and radio especially for analogue transmission) may have limited headroom, hence the requirement for -18dB peak = 0dBM.
I remember when we first rented out Digital Betacam cameras, some recordists were recording almost everything OVER -18dBM.
I suspect that until we have an all-digital world, these requiremnents will still be in place.
Many thanks to all. It's a ghreat community!

  • How can I measure the Graphics Card usage? I.e. percent load

    Hello,
    How can I measure the Graphics Card usage, like with the processor in Task Manager, but instead giving a percentage usage for the graphics card instead? Is there an easy way to do this, or would it require a lot of code? Is it even possible?

    Ah, so It's unlikely that Java3D will include anything for reading this data then? I was really aiming at measuring the GPU usage under this API which although i have limited knowledge using, I do at least have some knowledge - I wouldn't have a clue how to access any other API's!
    I'm using an NVidia TNT2 card at the moment, which is quite old.

  • How can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box

    how can i measure the speed of the fan in sound and vibration signal simulator box
    provided the values  tach out:2 pulses/revolution and  maximum speed = 6000rpm

    Hi. I tried your suggestion and I could not get it to work well. In
    fact it worked better without the running average (which suprised me).
    I also played with the number of data points but still could not get it
    to work well.
    Do you have any other suggestions on how I could sort this problem out?
    I
    have attached a screen shot of the signal. To recap, I'm trying to
    measure the'y' position of the flat regions of the signal. The signal
    does not have a constant level, so this 'y' position varies with time
    in a non-unform manner.
    I am currently differentiating
    the signal and selecting the y position when the differential is equal
    to zero (within a tolerance band).
    In the screenshot, the
    signal has been zeroed using the method I have described above.
    However, it occasionally has glitches which may be caused when the code
    picks up a zero gradient at a peak or valley in the signal.
    I therefore need some kind of algorithm that only measures the position of the flat regions.
    Many thanks

    please help me..

    each time when i fill the form and click save button ,all the data in the form should be written to a text file and each time when i repeat it should append to the old data in the text file.the elements in the form should be seperated by pipe delimeter.

  • How can I set the tab order in a form?

    How can I set the tab order in a form?

    Sorry. I don't mean page tabs, but the order in which form fields are selected by the tab key. In simple html there is a value called tabindex and I was just wondering if there is a way to assign this order within a portal form. I have basically recreated the form with a custom layout and adjusted the table structure to force the order I was looking for, but it would be a nice add for future versions.

  • How can I change the tax formula in system form ?

    Hi,

    Great!
    I suppose "Speed-button" is the same as "toolbar button", right?
    To all (more or less):
    It confirms that I am on the right track when I bother the participants in this forum time-after-time with remarks to train themselves - or get trained - in application + customization features (+ SDK).
    Of course as developers we can use the SDK for whatever purpose and try to develop additional functionality - ... that might already be there, but we just don't know about it
    In addition the power of customization features (UDFs/UDTs/queries/formatted searches (also bound to fields on SAP Business One forms)...) should not be underestimated!!!
    When starting development with SDK you - or the person who writes the specifications for an Add-On must IMHO be familiar with the application + the customization features + being trained with SDK to avoid unnecessary development or getting into trouble latest when the solution is shipped to a customer...
    Please again note that there's a lot of eLearning available in the education area in the SMB Portal on SAP Service Marketplace.

  • EBS field how can we get the information that on which form this filed is

    we are doing some data mapping activity for datawarehousing if we are given some EBS field how can we get the information that on which form this filed is located is there any good method

    Hi Kapoor,
    please give also others a chance, and excuse that I get up late on vacation ;-)
    Anyway, I'd keep the story creation responder to recognize the copy, then combine it with an observer on the backing xml story to catch the associated XML element which is created there. Something like below:
    UIDRef xmlStoryRef = Utils<IXMLUtils>()->GetBackingStore(doc);
    InterfacePtr<ISubject> subject ( xmlStoryRef,IID_ISUBJECT );
    subject->AttachObserver(observer,IID_IIDXMLELEMENT,observer->GetAttachIID());

  • How can i convert the HTML information in XML form to a PDF?

    Hi does any body know how can i convert the content of an HTML field in a XML Form in a regular text to include in a PDF in a Java program?

    Hi ,
    On the tool bar you have an option "Browser" which is next to "HTML Editor" .
    You know that for using these elements wo have to map them with Data Schema.
    Step by step
    1. In data Model Under Data Schema Add a child and name it Read_More.
    2. In the left hand corner ,click on tab Type and from the drop down select "rid"
    3.Click on the "Browser" from the toolbar (as told earlier) and drag and drop it on the form.
    4. Drag the Data schema which u have made(Read_more) and drop it on the browser on form. On right hand side u will se the mapping done.
    5.Click on the "Browser" which is there in the form and on the right hand side of the form u will see the property window.
    6.In property window change the value of action property to "Item Entry point"
    7. Repeat step 3 and 4 in Render and show form but using "label" nad not browser.
    Do not forget to add Save button in Edit Form.
    This will solve your problem.
    PS:Rewards Point Please.

  • How can I read the image from database into form

    hi everyone
    if I have table like this
    create table test
    (id number(10),
    pic long raw);
    in this table record
    in form If I have block non database
    how can i read the image into non database item
    I try with this code but no good
    select pic into :photo from test where id=5;
    photo its non database item kind image
    how can i invoke image into item
    thanks alooooooot

    Hello,
    You can't select image with select query. You need to create another database block from test table which has item binds with database pic column. Now in where condition in test block's property you have to write id=5. Change test block's properties UPDATE ALLOWED, INSERT ALLOWED, DELETE ALLOWED to NO. Only Query allowed property set to YES.
    Now in your particular trigger write the code
    GO_BLOCK('test');
    Execute_Query;
    please mark if it help you or correct
    Regards,

  • How can I sort the target list in debug form.

    If I want to select a procedure/function to debug it is very hard to find it if the package contains a lot of procedures. How can I sort the target list. I did not find anything in the preferences. Thanks.

    Sorry, can't be done. You can request this at the SQL Developer Exchange though, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.
    My suggestion (if you decide to request it): base the order in the dialog on the order inside the navigator tree (location in the source by default, but possible by name or type/name - see tree's context menu).

  • How can I measure the full width half max pulse-width of a gaussian function?

    Hi I am measuring a laser pulse using a Tektronix scope and feeding that data into my labview (v 7.1) based data system on a Mac OS X computer. I want to measure the full width pulse at half the maximum peak. The included measurement VIs that come with labview and the tek scope dont seem to do the job (even though the scope itself can do the measurement). I've attached my example VI. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    If you can display a trace on the screen, you can get the full width at half maximum. LabVIEW gives you several options:
    Use the Pulse Parameters VI to determine the width directly. This will be a width based solely on the data with no assumption as to an underlying model.
    Use the Levenberg Marquardt VI to fit a gaussian to your curve, then calculate the full width at half maximum from the coefficients. Levenberg Marquardt is a least-squares/gaussian algorithm, so is somewhat noise sensitive.
    Use one of the minimizer functions (e.g. Downhill Simplex) to construct your own fit using a different assumed error distribution. If you are unsure how to do this, check out a copy of Numerical Recipes in C by Press et. al. and read the section on data fitting.
    Do your own data based calculation. Find the peak with Peak Detector. This will give you the magnitude, but you may want to verify it with a polynomial fit (parabola is usually good enough) across the top of the peak to avoid noise problems. Then find the positions of the half-maxima on either side of the peak. The Interpolate 1D Array will probably prove useful for this.
    Choose your method depending on your pain threshold and how accurate and robust you need the result to be. Good luck!

  • How can I measure the thickness of a circle line?

    Hi,
    we try to measure the thickness of a circle line to find out if the circle is round or if there is any deviation in the circle. By now we are using the FindEdges tool and measure the circle at different points.but this is not sufficient.
    Does anyone has an idea how we can measure the thickness of the line of a circle?
    thanks
