Reduced waterfall controls width to help formatting on low resolution screens
Added a View preference to show or hide the toolbar, hiding it makes more space on low resolution screens
Added a welcome message on startup with pointers to initial steps
RTA graph images captured with distortion panel showing also include the RMS level panel
Added 50 Hz as a 1/3 octave step for RT60 and Filtered IR
Added new controls for the filter frequency on the Filtered IR graph, with selection boxes to enable and next and previous buttons
Added support for 32-bit and 64-bit float PCM data when importing impulse, audio and sweep files
Added 352.8k and 384k sample rate options for filter IR export and append sample rate to default filename
If a WAV file being imported has two channels label them left and right rather than 1 and 2
Allow 192k sample rate with Java drivers on Linux
Bug fix: Predicted phase did not update when changing impulse t=0 offset
Bug fix: Import audio files did not work for mono WAV files
Bug fix: When an FDW was being applied phase response was incorrect if win ref time was not 0
Bug fix: When using a USB mic and ASIO4All there could be multiple requests for the mic cal file on startup if the cal file did not have a sensitivity figure
Bug fix: Exporting an impulse response that had only a short non-zero portion could result in a file that was all zero valued
Bug fix: Import sweep recordings could give incorrect results if the current REW soundcard sample rate was less than the WAV sample rate
Bug fix: Don't disable the output channel selector when output selection is not available
Quite a few changes in this beta version, I'll list them here and make further posts to explain the changes.
Added ability to import sweep recordings and generate measurements from them
Added sweep level, timing ref level and sample rate selection when saving measurement sweep to WAV file
Added sweep settings information into measurement sweep files saved as WAV
Added option to capture spectrum data when making stepped sine measurements, the data can be viewed on waterfall and spectrogram plots
Use FFT bin frequencies in stepped sine measurement
Added 88.2k and 96k sample rates when using Java drivers. Make sure the input and output devices are
configured in the OS to operate at the rate selected in REW, otherwise the OS will resample between the
selected rate and the rate at which the input or output device is actually running.
Added a menu entry to import audio data files for analysis
Adjusted frequency-dependent windowing filter characteristics to improve wavelet spectrogram resolution
Added linear amplitude scale settings for spectrograms (percent of peak or percent of full scale) and a percent full scale log setting
Increased time axis resolution of spectrogram plots
Revised the spectrogram time span controls to have separate controls for the spans before and after the IR peak
Added a frequency axis selector to spectrogram to allow frequency to be on the X or Y axis
Added a Fill spectrogram floor control, when selected REW uses the bottom of the spectrogram colour scheme to fill areas that have levels below the floor of the graph
Added peak energy time as a separate trace on the spectrogram graph with time values in the graph legend
Added window type selector in spectrogram controls and, for imported audio data, in waterfall controls
The Y axis zoom out button on the spectrogram graph automatically limits to the full span of the spectrogram
Added option to use colour bands in spectrogram
Allow up to 501 slices in the waterfall - note that using more slices will increase memory use and the time taken to generate waterfall plots
Added a spectrogram-style colour scheme option to the waterfall plot for graduated colours
Made the cursor frequency line drawn over the surface of the waterfall more visible
Updated the waterfall help for CSD mode to warn that window width should be greater than time range
When using ASIO automatically reload the ASIO driver after the sample rate is changed
Added A and C weighted input level figures on the RTA
Added FBQ1000 as new name for DSP1124P
Allow up to 35 m room dimensions for room simulator and modal analysis
Additional input level check during SPL calibration to try and prevent incorrect calibration results
Trace arithmetic treats inputs as incoherent if they do not both have phase data
Reintroduced file overwrite check on OS X as OS no longer performs it
Revised trace colour defaults
Added a "separate traces" button for the All SPL graph
Added units labels to the graph limits dialog
No longer show measurement notes in tooltip for overlay graph legend selectors (gets in the way)
Moved Measure menu entry into the Tools menu
Added an Import sub-menu in the File menu
Made the graph cursor easier to see, especially on high resolution screens
State of measurement panel expand/collapse button is remembered for next startup; default for screens of 1200 pixels or less is collapsed
Default for showing graph scroll bars on screens of 1200 pixels or less is not to show them
Bug fix: 5.19 beta versions 4 to 6 were not compatible with Java 7 (used a Java 8 method)
Bug fix: Spectrogram contour interval was not remembered for next startup
Bug fix: Soundcard cal could fail to complete if measurement sweep had been set to a length above 256k
Bug fix: Traces with colours that changed along the trace were not rendered correctly on retina macs
