A CD-ROM Based Digital Tone Standard for Telephone Equipment
Senior Project: 1994-1995
Matthew Bronder, Martin Larsson, George Muckom and John Noble
This project developed a software tool running on a PC which drives a Sound
Blaster board to generate touch tones, call progress tones, and other sounds.
This tool's primary use will be to act as a tone standard for telephone
equipment, which is currently provided by an analog tape commonly known as "The
Mitel Tape". Recorded in this tape are tones with various signal strength and
various abnormalities.
The tool provides a visual method for a user to establish a test suite by
selecting various sound primitives (touch tones, white noise, voice, mixers,
timing patterns, etc.) and connecting them into a network. The described test
suite can then be played. Since this tool is built using digital technology, it
can be much more accurate than an analog tape. The tool was developed using an
object-oriented approach in C++ and Windows.
