EASERA - Electronic and Acoustic System Evaluation and Response Analysis
Software
EASERA is the unrivaled solution for electronic and acoustic analysis with industry standard quality and incredible flexibility and power.
EASERA consists of four logical parts:
- Signal generator
- Measurement
- Real time analyser
- Post processing
EASERA provides both data acquisition with a variety of stimulus signals including Time Delay Spectrometry, sweeps MLS or noise excitation signals and a post processing engine to calculate all acoustic functions or measures according to ISO Standard 3382 and higher.
The real time analyser provides multiple ways to perform a fast onsite analysis or to obtain a precise view of the surrounding acoustic environment.
Although many of these tools are available in one form or another in several products, EASERA is the first to bring them all together in one unified measuring package.
EASERA can be run in conjunction with nearly every modern measurement interface.
EASERA stands for Electronic and Acoustic System Evaluation and Response Analysis. Basically it is a PC/Windows based software for acoustic and electronic measurements utilizing any built-in or external soundcard.
EASERA has been developed over several years to become a valuable tool in the daily work of acoustic consultants, contractors and manufacturers. With time, the software was refined to an easy-to-use and powerful measuring platform.
Based on the background of EASE and realizing all of the common room-acoustic parameters the primary focus of EASERA is the room-acoustic and electro-acoustic evaluation of halls and venues. Nevertheless a signal generator and a real-time analyser allow for a fast on-site analysis as well.
EASERA allows for importing and exporting in various file formats, such as WAV, MLSSA, EASE or TEF. Additional features, like the advanced overlay and cursor functions, the 3D OpenGL-based waterfall and the new fast distortion analysis method make it an outstanding tools compared to similar software packages.
