01dB: dBPower - Software for Sound Power
The dBPower software is designed to comply with standards ISO3741 in reverberant room, ISO3744 in normal rooms, ISO3745 in semi anechoic and anechoic environment, ISO3746 in external open space. Additional EC standards Directive 2000-14-EC and ISO7779/ ECMA074 are supported. dBPower has a user-oriented Graphical Interface, high measurement/calculation capabilities available in a few clicks, a remote control for most relevant operations in very low noise measurement conditions.

dBPower, A large set of sound power standards
- Sound power can be characterized in different conditions: reverberant rooms, anechoic or semi-anechoic chambers and outdoors
- dBPower complies with the complete set of ISO374X standards
- Moving sources are processed according to CE2000/14
- Tonality and impulsiveness are estimated according to ISO7779 and ECMA074 standards
A 'ready to operate' system with no specific expertise required
- Predefined measurement configurations for each standard
- Number of microphones, meshing, extra-sensors for tonality,...
- No need to read the full documentation to launch the first test
- Sensors distribution automatically managed during the acquisition
A complete set of tools for data management and reporting
- Data storage in a specific database
- Data reloading and editing at any time
- All data - sound pressure, background, power levels - can be exported in HTLM format
- Word report and certification label document
