No longer used: REW Windows 64-bit installer V5.20 beta 9

V5.20 beta 9 changes:

• Reduced warning threshold for timing reference to -45 dBFS (from -30dBFS) and only show the warning once in a session
• Added a window selection for the stepped sine dialog, Rectangular recommended when the generator and input are on the same device
• Added an option to show or hide the filter numbers along the top of the EQ window's filter adjust graph
• Added a warning in the help about using long sweeps if input and output are not on the same device due to potential problems from sample clock differences
• Added a soundcard input impedance setting on the Measure dialog for impedance measurements
• Added view preferences for keeping the SPL meter, VU meters and signal generator on top of other windows
• Bug fix: Output level control didn't increment or decrement properly on the volts scale for small voltages
• Bug fix: If a measurement was opened while on the waterfall or spectrogram graph the waterfall or spectrogram would be generated but not displayed
• Bug fix: Timing signal detection could fail despite good signal level
• Bug fix: Waterfall and spectrogram generation could be incomplete on some devices
• Bug fix: Stepped sine did not operate correctly with 0% overlap for FFT lengths above 64k
• Bug fix: UMM-6 volume compensation was incorrect on macOS
• Bug fix: SPL limit on Measure dialog couldn't be adjusted

V5.20 beta 8:

• Don't show smoothing selection on captured graph images, any smoothing selected can be seen in the legend if included
• Improved positioning of data panels on captured graph images and reduced panel opacity
• Added an option to include date and time on graph captures
• Improved icon resolution on macOS retina displays
• Added a set of icons for the dark colour scheme
• Windows installers now provide an option to allow multiple instances
• Windows installers prompt to download a Java runtime during installation if one is not available rather than including it in the installer
• Updated to JRE 1.8.0 build 202
• Bug fix: Some Scope settings were difficult to read when using the dark background
• Bug fix: If the input device did not provide any data it could be difficult to quit the Measure dialog
• Bug fix: Timing offset controls were overlaid on RLeads control if timing mode was loopback before selecting Impedance measurement
• Bug fix: Timing offset controls were disabled when measuring from file
• Bug fix: Graph capture comments were not being wrapped properly
• Bug fix: Soundcard calibration result notes were missing
• Bug fix: If FDW was enabled by default the cal files were not applied when the measurement was generated, but would be applied on any subsequent window application

2nd attempt

V5.20 beta 2 changes:

• Gave the signal generator a revamp and added a signal waveform preview
• Added fade in and fade out controls to the linear and log sweep signals
• Added AES17-2015 MD and DFD presets to the dual tone signals
• Changed sig gen level control behaviour for dual tone signals, the level setting now reflects the rms level of the combined signal rather than the rms level of f1
• Added a selection of multitone test signals
• Allow RTA lengths up to 1M
• If the RTA update interval is more than 1 second show the percentage progress for the next update on the record button
• Provide separate buttons in RTA to save current, peak and both traces
• Added dBu and dBV RTA Y axis options and a level calibration capability
• Added dBW RTA Y axis option and a control for the reference resistance for the dBW values
• Added an option to show RTA distortion ratios as either percentages or dB
• Expanded the RTA IMD results to include Total Distortion + Noise
• Added RTA figures for Total Distortion + Noise and SNR when using the multitone test signals
• Added two Dolph-Chebyshev RTA window options, with side lobes 150 dB down or 200 dB down
• Added an A weighted dynamic range figure to the RTA THD results
• Added a display of the peak sample value in the RTA rms input levels box
• Determine a more accurate value for the IR peak when it lies between samples
• Improved precision of Estimate IR Delay
• Made the acoustic timing reference delay estimates more precise
• Improved inter-sample rendering of impulse responses so the waveform retains the same shape regardless of fractional sample offsets,
  to achieve this the IR is oversampled using a method selected by the new IR oversampler option in the Analysis preferences.
• Changed behaviour while capturing the noise floor before a sweep measurement. Used to play a 1 Hz sine at -150 dBFS, then stop the generator and start it again to play the measurement sweep. Now dithers the lsb before the sweep starts without having to stop and start the generator. Should help ensure digital inputs are active and locked to the generator before the sweep starts and prevent issues with audio drivers due to rapid stopping/restarting of the audio lines.
• Decay, waterfall and spectrogram plots generate automatically when the graph is selected
• Added a button in the Impulse graph controls to set t=0 at the cursor position (also activated by Alt+z when the control is visible)
• Added a button in the Impulse graph controls to set t=0 at the IR start (also activated by Alt+y when the control is visible)
• Added a button in the All SPL graph controls to set t=0 at the IR start for all the currently selected measurements
• Added an option to normalise the step response to the IR peak value rather than the step response peak value
• Changed the Merge operation to use the window settings of the B (low frequency) trace rather than the A trace
• Show more decimal places on the window reference time as it gets closer to zero
• Added an option to export the impulse response with EQ filters applied
• Changed the Analysis options for setting t=0 to use either the IR peak, the start of the IR (based on it first exceeding 10% of the peak level) or the estimated IR delay
• Added 2M and 4M sweep options, useful for improving signal to noise on high sample rate measurements
• When importing impulse responses disabled the feature that rotated the peak to the middle of the data if it was found very close to the start of the data
• Added all-zeroes check for imported audio files
• Switched level checks to using Pink PN instead of random pink noise for faster and more accurate level readings
• Persist the choice of sub or main speaker for levels check in SCSettings
• Improved rendering of scope traces
• Made the legend panel right click menu available in all graphs, not just overlays
• Show a warning if the timing reference peak level is high
• Increased span of level meters in soundcard preferences to 100 dB
• Added a note in the View preferences to identify settings that are applied after restart
• Removed heading text from TS parameters results panel to reduce height of window
• Added a View preference for the font size used for graph axes in graph image captures
• Reapply ASIO sample rate after reloading the ASIO driver
• REW now requires a Java 8 JRE, Java 7 is no longer supported
• Bug fix: FDW phase correction for win ref time offset from zero was inverted
• Bug fix: Generating a min phase measurement did not take account of any frequency dependent window applied
• Bug fix: Mouse wheel zoom did not maintain aspect ratio when zooming out
• Bug fix: Input name disappeared from RTA window title when settings were changed
