Soundbook^® is our Type 1 notebook for all measurement tasks in sound and vibration. On the basis of the rugged and miniaturized industrial Panasonic CF-19 notebook, our engineers have created a universal acoustic measuring instrument that is extremely compact and powerful.

We offer Soundbook in three versions with two, four and eight channels respectively. The user can choose from a large number of software solutions with respect to application and budget.

Soundbook not only allows measurements, but also enables mobile office work with all standard software packages. With its IP 54 protection rating and MIL specifications, Soundbook can also be used under harsh conditions.

Due to modern circuit design and advanced DSP technology, the power consumption of the Soundbook expansion is less than 3 W.

The modern design and low power consumption make a cooling fan unnecessary. Network interface card, modem, USB and RS232 are already integrated. The touchscreen and touchpad allow comfortable operation in every position. The PC with its Intel processor runs Windows 2000/XP. Linux can be installed as an alternative operating system.

The principal application areas of Soundbook^® are:

• Sound level measurement
• Frequency analysis
• Sound intensity measurment
• Order tracking
• Pass-by measurements according to ISO362
• Building and room acoustics
• Testing and quality control
• Psychoacoustics analysis
• Operating deflection shapes analysis
• Modal analysis
• Rotor balancing

Sinus now have PTB type approval for the Soundbook in Germany. Soundbook is therefore the only multi-channel device in the international market with type approval according to IEC 60804, 60651 and 61672 Type 1.

Samurai Software
SINUS Acoustic Multichannel Universal Real-time Analysis Instrument

SAMURAI is the latest software from SINUS Messtechnik GmbH for sound and vibration measurement and real-time analysis with Soundbook, HARMONIE and NoiseLOG.

SAMURAI offers comprehensive graphical display facilities during the measurement and in post-processing. Level values, third octaves and time signals are stored parallel to measurement and analysis.

SAMURAI Features:

• Integration of a sensor database for common sensor types
• The multi-analysis function offers different types of predefined windows for the simultaneous display of sound level meter, spectra, history, sonogram, waterfall, auxiliary channels etc.
• All properties of the display windows can be adjusted individually.
• All setups can be stored and re-loaded.
• File access is supported by a browser.
• The replay function allows replaying the measured data stored.
• All statistical values can be calculated in broad and narrow bands.
• Measurement tasks can be defined to be performed in Easy Mode. The Easy Mode user can only measure and store, so that operator errors are almost excluded.
• An automatic calibration, run before the start of the measurement, checks if there are typical calibration signals on the channels and then carries out a calibration.
• SAMURAI contains novel trigger and marker functions.
• Third-octave and FFT spectra can be displayed in the same window.
• A window for the display of tonality is available in SAMURAI.
• Spectra are displayed over the time axis or over r.p.m.
• SAMURAI utilizes the “sleep” function of the computer: the software switches the computer on at a defined time to perform a measurement and afterwards automatically switches it off again.

The following measurements, analyses and additional functions can be performed simultaneously. The measurement and the display of measurement results are separate processes, so that not every measured value needs to be displayed during the measurement. Different modes allow various trigger and storage functions for effective usage of the storage capacity:

The following types of display windows
are available in Samurai:

Sound level meter
• Type 1 according to IEC 60561, 60804, 61672
• Level with Fast, Slow, Impulse & Peak time weightings and A, C & Z frequency weightings
• L_max, L_min, L_eq, L_peak of all level values
• L_E, L_Atm1/3/5, L_n
• One measurement channel per window

Third-octave analyzer
• Real-time third-octave filter according to IEC 1260 Type 0
• Measurements from 0.1 Hz to 20 kHz
• Momentary, maximum, minimum and Leq spectra simultaneously
• Up to eight channels can be displayed in one window
• Display as bar graph, bar contour or line

FFT analyzer
• FFT analyzer with 101 to 25,601 lines
• Frequency range selectable from 0 … 19.5 Hz up to 0 … 20 kHz
• Momentary, maximum, minimum and Leq spectra simultaneously
• Up to eight channels can be displayed in one window
• Display as bar graph, bar contour or line

Time signal
• Display of time signals with changeable time basis
• Up to eight channels can be displayed in one window

Sonogram
• Color display of third-octave and FFT spectra over time
• Color display of third-octave and FFT spectra over r.p.m.

Waterfall plot
• 3D display of third-octave or FFT spectra over time
• Geometry settings can be edited

Human vibration analyzer
• Triple-axis measurement displayed in a window as bars and numerical values
• Calculation of local and total-body vibrations
• Comfort and Health measurements
• Calculation of the resulting vector

The replay mode of SAMURAI allows measurements to be redisplayed. Data export to the following formats is already integrated:
• Noise & Vibration Works
• si++ Workbench
• MS Excel
• ASCII
• Universal File Format (UFF)

SAMURAI is perfectly complemented by the Noise & Vibration Works for Windows software, which offers comprehensive post-processing facilities.

It allows the analysis of level, time and spectra values, graphical postprocessing and convenient report generation. SAMURAI is also used for monitoring noise and vibration with NoiseLOG and Swing, whereby it can be controlled either locally or over a network.

The automatic storage of the measured values on exchangeable hard disks is supported. Direct integration of a weather station with a serial interface into SAMURAI is possible using a special display window.
