1. Introduction

1.1 General description

The new measuring instruments SW 1000/ SW 2000 are upgrades of a new generation
of octave sound meters according to the market requirements for the basic instrument
SW 1000/200, which meets the requirements of the IEC standard as well as the
Chinese GB/T standard for 1/1 octave measuring instruments.
The SW 1000/ SW 2000 is a digital sound pressure measuring instrument developed
and produced by the Kern company. The high-precision 24-bit A/D converter makes
the instrument the ideal choice for various measurement tasks, for example, for
measuring environmental noise, vehicle noise and for industrial applications.
The new types contain two cores (DSP+ARM) in a single chip ARM with floating point
display and instead of the fixed point calculation a floating point calculation, which
significantly improves accuracy and stability. The redesign of the analog front-end
circuit also reduces the background noise and increases the linear measuring range
of the product. The newly developed algorithm has only one measurement range with
a dynamic range of more than 120 dB, but still meets the standard.
SW 1000 is a class 1 measuring instrument and the SW 2000 is a class 2 measuring
instrument.
