17 WOW AND FLUTTER<br />

17.1 INTRODUCTION<br />

Within this menu Wow & Flutter measurements are possible, meeting both IEC and NAB<br />

standards. Basically, what is measured is the frequency modulation that follows<br />

instantaneous speed variations due to mechanical imperfections in analog recording or<br />

playback devices. Differently than in traditional Wow & Flutter analyser the whole<br />

measuring process is taken digitally without relying on analog FM discriminator, filter and<br />

detector with much higher accuracy, limited by the clock quartz only. Furthermore,<br />

aside traditional number data, a time graph is presented as well as a Frequency Domain<br />

Analysis of the demodulated signal. The latter feature greatly simplify locating the cause<br />

of problems, once rotating speed and mechanical circumference of eventually defective<br />

rotating parts are known. Carrier frequency can range form 1500Hz to 6000Hz. This<br />

is important if you record directly the test signal. Using existing test support, IEC specify<br />

a test frequency of 3150Hz, NAB of 3000Hz.<br />
