The
Nelson Acoustical Engineering (NAE) Multi-Channel Real Time Analyzer (MCRTA)
is an executable application developed for the National Instruments
PCI-455x series of data acquisition cards with on-board digital signal
processing running the NI-DSA real-time octave driver software.
Although it was developed using the
LabView programming environment, users need not have LabView running on
their system (LabView RunTime engine required).
The NAE MCRTA utilizing Microsoft Excel exports data directly into Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets.
It also uses Excel as a configuration tool,
allowing the software to be configured for acquiring the data from one
board or multiple boards, depending on hardware availability.
