34.7.5 Computer Aided Measurement Systems
As discussed in Chapter 50, computer aided measure-
ment systems like SMAART from SIA Software; TEF
from Gold Line; EASERA, an acoustic measurement
program offered by the developers of EASE; MLSSA
from DRA Laboratories; SIM from Meyer Sound; and
others have greatly advanced the state of the art in
acoustic and electronic measurements.References
