6½-Digit Audio Analyzing Multimeters
The Models 2015-P and 2016-P Audio Analyzing
Digital Multimeters and the Models 2015 and 2016
Total Harmonic Distortion Multimeters combine
audio band quality measurements and analysis
with a full-function 6½-digit DMM . Test engineers
can make a broad range of voltage, resistance,
current, frequency, and distortion measurements,
all with the same compact, half-rack measure-
ment instrument . The Model 2016 and 2016-P
have twice the sine wave generator output of the
Model 2015 for applications that require test signals
greater than 8Vrms . The Model 2015-P and 2016-P
offer additional processing capacity for frequency
spectrum analysis .
frequency Domain Distortion analysis
For applications such as assessing non-linear distor-
tion in components, devices, and systems, DSP-
based processing allows the Models 2015-P, 2015,
2016, and 2016-P to provide frequency domain anal-
ysis in conventional time domain instruments . They
can measure Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) over the complete 20Hz to 20kHz audio band . They
also measure over a wide input range (up to 750Vrms) and have low residual distortion (–87dB) . The
THD reading can be expressed either in decibels or as a percentage .
In addition to THD, the Models 2015, 2015-P, 2016, and 2016-P can compute THD+Noise and Signal-
to-Noise plus Distortion (SINAD) . For analyses in which the individual harmonics are the criteria of
greatest interest, the instruments can report any of the (up to 64) harmonic magnitudes that can be
included in the distortion measurements . The user can program the actual number of harmonics to
be included in a computation, so accuracy, speed, and complexity can be optimized for a specific
application . (See
Figure 1 .

Figure 1
shows a plot of a square wave’s harmonics (frequency components) computed and
transmitted to a personal computer by the Model 2015 or 2016. a square wave’s spectral
content consists of only odd harmonics whose magnitudes are (1/harmonic number

the
magnitude of the fundamental). for example, the magnitude of the third harmonic is
1

magnitude of the fundamental.

Figures 2, 3, and 4
demonstrate how the
Model 2015, 2015-P, 2016, or 2016-P can
provide both time domain and frequency
domain measurements in a single test
protocol.
Figure 2
shows a sample test
system schematic with a telecommunication
device in a loop back mode test. The audio
analyzing DMM’s source provides a stimulus
frequency sweep, and the audio analyzing
DMM measures the response from the
microphone circuit.

shows the
resulting frequency domain analysis of
the THD and the first three harmonics as a

Figure 4

optimized for Production Testing
The Models 2015, 2015-P, 2016, and 2016-P can perform fast frequency sweeps for characterizing
audio-band circuitry in production test systems . For example, the instruments can execute a single
sweep of 30 frequencies and transmit both rms voltage readings and THD readings to a computer in
only 1 .1 seconds . With that data, a complete frequency response analysis and a harmonic distortion
vs . frequency analysis can be performed in a very short time . Thus high speed testing of the audio
performance of a high volume device such as a cellular telephone can be performed without reducing
the number of tests or reducing the measurements in each test . With these instruments, which are
optimized for production testing, test engineers can lower test times, in comparison to test speeds
achievable with general purpose audio analyzers, without sacrificing production test quality .
Dual output source
The Models 2015, 2015-P, 2016, and 2016-P include an internal audio band sine wave source for gen-
erating stimulus signals . A second output, the inverse of the first output, is also available, simplifying
the testing of differential input circuits for common mode or noise cancellation performance .

CCIR Weighting Filter
The Models 2015 and 2015-P have a 4Vrms single-ended output and 8Vrms
differential source output . For tests that require a higher stimulus signal,
the Model 2016 and 2016-P provide a 9 .5Vrms single-ended output and a
19Vrms differential output .
Wide selection of audio filters
Five industry-standard bandpass filters are provided for shaping the input
signal for audio and telecommunication applications . Available filters
include the CCITT weighting filter, CCIR filter, C-message filter, CCIR/ARM
filter, and “A” weighting filter (see
Figures 5a–5e) .
The Models 2015,
2015-P, 2016, and 2016-P provide programmable, high cutoff (low pass) and
low cutoff (high pass) filters . Furthermore, the two filters can be implemented
together to form a bandpass filter . The programmable filters can be used to
filter out noise generated by electromechanical machinery on the production
floor or to simulate other types of system transmission characteristics .
broad Measurement flexibility
In addition to their THD, THD+Noise, SINAD, and individual harmonic
measurement capabilities, the instruments provide a comprehensive set of
DMM functions, including DCV, ACV, DCI, ACI, 2WW, 4WW, temperature,
frequency, period, dB, dBm, and continuity measurements, as well as
diode testing . This multi-functional design minimizes added equipment
costs when configuring test setups .

Wide band or Narrow band
Noise Measurements
The Models 2015, 2015-P, 2016, and 2016-P are
capable of measuring both wide band noise
and narrow band noise . Alternatively, these
instruments’ DSP (digital signal processing)
capabilities allow users to make frequency
domain measurements of RMS voltage noise
over the 20Hz–20kHz frequency audio band or a
narrow portion of the band . Furthermore, noise
measurements can be extracted in the presence
of a stimulus signal for fast signal-to-noise
computations .
spectrum analysis
The Model 2015-P and 2016-P have internal
computational capabilities that allow them
to characterize an acquired signal spectrum .
These instruments can identify and report the
frequency and amplitude of the highest value
in a complete spectrum or within a specified
frequency band . It can also identify additional
peaks in descending order of magnitude (see
Figure 6) .
The Model 2015-P’s and 2016-P’s
on-board capabilities make it simple to obtain a
thorough analysis of a frequency spectrum more
quickly and with little or no need for external
analysis software .
