Page 3 of 6 Required Tools:
PC with sound card:
Most PCs today come with sound cards capable of digitally recording sounds at a very high 16bit 44Khz quality, more than sufficient for measuring AEG rate of fire.
Standard microphone:
Any PC microphone will work. There is no need for expensive pre-amped professional setups.
Sound recording software:
The sound recording software used must allow a fine time-based display of the recorded waveform and should also allow easy manipulation of the viewing frame. Generally, software which feature the previous attributes also allow manipulation and direct editing of the waveform and qualify as sound editing or audio editing software. There are several freely available software packages that have the necessary functionality, my favorite of which is a cross-platform open source project called Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net ).
