Calculator - Post-Processing Software
KLIPPEL provides a variety of post-processing scripts running in the Calculator (CAL) for calculating particular characteristics (e.g. mean SPL level in a particular frequency range), transformations, simulations, statistics analysis, curve manipulation and graphical display of data. The CAL module can be combined with other KLIPPEL modules (TRF, CAL, DIS, …) performing measurements and simulations to accomplish complex tasks. A documentation window describes the scope of the script, the mathematical processing and the practical application.

MAT module allows to write your own scripts similar to the Calculator module (CAL) using SCILAB and MATLAB.
Example:
The screenshot above illustrates the measurement of the mean efficiency by the template CAL Mean Efficiency using the IEC 60268-5 paragraph 22.4.
KLIPPEL provides the following CAL operations with the dB-Lab frame software:
CAL Add curves | Adds "CurveA" weighted with "weightA" to "CurveB" weighted with "weightB" |
CAL Add curves (power) | Adding the power of two curves given in 'dB' considering weighting factors applied to the power of the input curves; Phase information is accepted but neglected in the calculation. |
CAL Add curvs (dB) | Adding the sound pressure of two curves given in 'dB' considering weighting of the sound pressure |
CAL Sub curves | Subtracts "CurveB" weighted with "weightB" from complex "CurveA" weighted with "weightA" using curves in various formats (real, complex, dB + phase) |
