PERFORMING A CEA-2010 BURST TEST WITH CLIO
The CLIO 10.31 software release features a new generator stimulus and custom
FFT options that, when used together, allow to perform a CEA-2010 burst test in a
very simple way.
CLIO CEA-2010 TONE BURST GENERATOR
A powerful hann-burst tone option has been added to the Signal Generator. Selecting
the CEA Burst option in the generator opens a dialog with the burst options (figure 4).
The generator settings are: burst frequency f 0 in Hz, Number of Cycles and Repetition
Time in ms. While the CEA-2010 standard requests for a 6.5 cycles burst, we left
the possibility to modify this parameter as it gives the opportunity to use different
“burst-on” durations. For example it is possible to use a 7 cycles burst which is amplitude
symmetrical, instead of 6.5 cycles which is not amplitude symmetrical, while
