The Models 2015-P and 2016-P Audio Analyzing
Digital Multimeters and the Models 2015 and 2016
Total Harmonic Distortion Multimeters combine
audio band quality measurements and analysis with
a full-function 6
1
⁄2-digit DMM. Test engineers can
make a broad range of voltage, resistance, current,
frequency, and distortion measurements, all with
the same compact, half-rack measurement instrument. The Model 2016 and 2016-P have twice the
sine wave generator output of the Model 2015 for
applications that require test signals greater than
8Vrms. The Model 2015-P and 2016-P offer additional processing capacity for frequency spectrum
analysis.
Frequency Domain Distortion Analysis
For applications such as assessing non-linear distortion in components, devices, and systems, DSPbased processing allows the Models 2015-P, 2015,
2016, and 2016-P to provide frequency domain
analysis in conventional time domain instruments.
They can measure Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) over the complete 20Hz to 20kHz audio band.
They also measure over a wide input range (up to 750Vrms) and have low residual distortion
(–87dB). The THD reading can be expressed either in decibels or as a percentage.
In addition to THD, the Models 2015, 2015-P, 2016, and 2016-P can compute THD+Noise and Signalto-Noise plus Distortion (SINAD). For analyses in which the individual harmonics are the criteria of
greatest interest, the instruments can report any of the (up to 64) harmonic magnitudes that can be
included in the distortion measurements. The user can program the actual number of harmonics to
be included in a computation, so accuracy, speed, and complexity can be optimized for a specific
application. (See
Figure 1. Frequency Spectrum of 1kHz Square Wave
Figure 1.)

Optimized for Production Testing
The Models 2015, 2015-P, 2016, and 2016-P can perform fast frequency sweeps for characterizing

readings to a computer in
vs. frequency analysis can be performed in a very short time. Thus high speed testing of the audio
performance of a high volume device such as a cellular telephone can be performed without reducing the number of tests or reducing the measurements in each test. With these instruments, which
are optimized for production testing, test engineers can lower test times, in comparison to test
speeds achievable with general purpose audio analyzers, without sacrificing production test quality.
Dual Output Source
The Models 2015, 2015-P
, 2016, and 2016-P include an internal audio band sine wave source for generating stimulus signals. A second output, the inverse of the first output, is also available, simplifying
the testing of differential input circuits for common mode or noise cancellation performance.
