APx515 B Series Audio Analyzer: Installation 19
Installation
Software
The APx515 audio analyzer system uses the award-win-
ning APx500 measurement software. This is the same
software used in the APx52x, 555 and APx58x analyzer
families.
APx “B Series” analyzers
All analyzers shipped in late December 2018 (or after-
ward) have a new embedded processor and enhanced
security provisions. These analyzers are designated “B
Series” and carry “B Series” nomenclature. “B Series”
APx analyzers do not require an APx KeyBox (see
below), but may require authorization codes to enable
APx500 software or software options.
The APx KeyBox
If you are using APx500 software version 4.6 or later
with an earlier APx analyzer (non “B Series”), you must
attach an authenticated APx KeyBox to the Software
Options connector on the analyzer rear panel.
The APx KeyBox must be programmed with your ana-
lyzer’s serial number at the Audio Precision factory, and
cannot be used with any other APx analyzer. You may
require authorization codes to enable APx500 software or
software options.
Note that without a properly authenticated APx KeyBox
attached, APx500 version 4.6 or later will only run in
demo mode. If you need a KeyBox, locate your analyzer
serial number and go to https://ap.com/get-keybox/ to
complete the order form.
