SINUS Measurement Toolbox
SMT opens up the MATLAB® world for applications with SINUS instruments
With the
SINUS Measurement Toolbox (SMT) for MATLAB®, scientists and
engineers using
Soundbook®,
HARMONIE® and/or
MSX16
can harness the full power, flexibility and high performance of the
most important software tool in the field of technical computing:
MATLAB®.
The SMT is not just a file export interface delivering data in a
MATLAB-readable format: it provides MATLAB programmers with an
easy-to-use control interface which also allows data to be accessed
both during and after the data acquisition. The SMT implements a
consistent interface between MATLAB and the various families of SINUS
instruments such as Soundbook, HARMONIE, Swing and MSX16.
Various
types of applications are possible. Using the SMT, the SINUS hardware
can be directly controlled from the MATLAB command line or from
user-written functions. In addition to running programs in the
interpreter mode, as is possible for every user having a MATLAB
license, the MATLAB programs can also be compiled. The license-freedom
of such programs is of considerable economic importance for the
end-user. As a
Connections Program Partner of The MathWorks Inc.,
SINUS Messtechnik GmbH can also support you in the development of your
own MATLAB applications.
The application developer is provided with a clear and consistent
conceptual model, and does not have to spend an inordinate amount of
time learning device-specific interface procedures and data structures.
This technology enables the user to easily exploit our devices with a
minimum of programming.
Three concepts are fundamental to the SMT:
- Devices
- physical or virtual (file) devices
- Channels
- logical data streams from or to the device
- Properties
- defined attributes of devices and channels which can be read
and (where appropriate) set.
The key characteristics of the SMT are:
- Reliable and stable foundation for application programming
- Independence from operating system and drivers
- Large degree of software reusability and accelerated development
- Simplified data acquisition with scalable number of physical/logical channels.
Current applications include:
- Development of algorithms and applications for sound and vibration measurement
technology
- Environmental and meteorological research (acoustic tomography, rain radar)
- Analysis methods for vehicle acoustics
- Teaching of acoustics
- Vibration diagnosis for machine maintenance purposes
- AcoustiCam™
software package for sound-field holography.
The SMT contains as standard several example applications such as a
configurator, an oscilloscope, a recorder and a data converter as fully
commented source code (M-files). These examples serve as templates for
application programmers and can already be used for simple
measurements. They may be modified and/or included in your own
applications without any restrictions.
