DSAM Features

The library has a modular structure that can be used to create auditory investigation/application systems or incorporated in existing code, as required. The library is intuitive in application, and has comprehensive error reporting embedded in efficient code. All the modules conform to a simple standard format. The design allows for plugging and unplugging alternative models of the same component auditory process for purposes of comparison. Ultimately DSAM is a development based on the meld of experimental investigation methods and the tenets of good software engineering practice. The following is a list of the principal features of DSAM:-

• Modular Structure;
• Written in ANSI-C so it is portable to all systems;
• Multi-channel data is handled invisibly;
• Binaural processing support;
• Wide collection of established physiological auditory models from many research workers;
• Extensive collection of analysis and utility modules already included;
• Efficient algorithms are used throughout;
• Comprehensive error handling incorporated in routines.
• Programming is possible on more than one level;
• Sound data file format reading/writing support;
• Segment-processing for long or continuous signals;
• A tool for creating modules to add to DSAM;

Main features new in version 2.8.x

• Revised manual - available in PDF format.
• WxWidgets 2.8 is used for graphical user interface support, available for all major platforms.
• Improved parameter handling implemented for all models.
• Parallel processing using threads.
• The flagship AMS application written using DSAM which can be employed to run quite complex simulations.
• New RunDSAMSim matlab interface
