The software add‐in called "SPAddin Cycle" allows | The software add‐in called "SPAddin Cycle" allows a user to determine the Sound Power Level for cycle machines. It is dedicated today to the measurement of Sound Power on washing machines as defined in the standard IEC704: 6 microphones around a source fixed against a wall. | ||

There are a number of features available thanks to the power delivered from the 3‐series analyzers: All channels are measured simultaneously, the short Leq1s are acquired, and all microphone positions are averaged simultaneously. The measurement time can be quite long: acquiring the signal over 3 hours. | ||
