W+F (Wow and Flutter)
The W+F (Wow and Flutter) measurement function is selected by
pressing the FUNCTION W+F key. It is only available in analog
analyzer mode.
The W+F function is used to measure wow and flutter (speed
variations) in analog tape recorders and turntables. The W+F
measurement supports the IEC (DIN), NAB, and JIS standards.
Wow and flutter is measured by playing a 3 kHz or 3.15 kHz reference
tone on the device-under-test. The reference tone is usually
pre-recorded on a device with minimal wow and flutter. The recording
is then played back, and the output is sent to the ATS-1 Dual Domain
for analysis. The instrument determines the amount of speed
fluctuation and the amount of speed error.
