INDEXES AND SOFTWARE VERSION NUMBERS

This manual is for standard software version 1.5x and P3D unit software v1.36. v1.5x differs from earlier standard software v1.3x and P3D software pre 1.36 in having a more friendly menu structure, with readback on current settings without having to change the settings, and supporting SDIF-3 for DSD.

Definitions of Units

dB0

Level in decibels, referred to a full scale sine wave

 

in a sampled system. So, 0 dB0 is full scale.

dBu

Level in decibels, referred to a 0.775V rms sine

 

wave, with no external loading (u = unloaded).

 

The level of 0.775V is derived from the older dBm,

 

for which the reference level is 1mW of signal

 

power into a 600termination from an output with

 

600source impedance.

dBV

Level in decibels, referred to a 1.0V rms sine wave,

 

with no external loading.

kS/s

Sample rate in kilo-samples per second. This

 

replaces kHz which is technically incorrect when

 

referring to sample rates.

ADC

Analogue to Digital converter, also known as an

 

A/D

DAC

Digital to Analogue converter, also known as a D/A

DDC

Digital to Digital converter – used for format

 

conversion and some DSP operations that change

 

the data.
