The Turbine Test & Demo Application

The Turbine Test and Demo Application is a PC application that allows you play audio files directly from the Turbine station without connection to any server. It also allows you to do audio recordings to be used for trouble shooting if there are issues related to audio in the Turbine station.

The application has seven options:

  • Test Mode View
  • Demo Mode View
  • Performance View
  • Audio Lines
  • AudioClient Instances
  • Audio Streams
  • AudioProcessing

Demo Mode requires that an additional audio file package (vsf-demo-media package) is uploaded to the station. Test Mode will work without this package.


Installation of the software

Install the "Turbine Test and Demo Application" on your PC

  • Download the file VS-Tools-1.04.0011.msi from the download page. This installation package includes the Turbine Test and Demo Application as well as a PC-tool for image upgrade of the AMC-IP board.
  • Install the software on the PC

Open the port for "Demo" in Turbine IP device

  • Logon to the web interface of the Turbine IP device
  • Check the firewall settings in Advanced Network.
  • Enable the Demo port (55010)
Open the port for "Demo" on the Turbine device

Test Mode View - applications

Start the "Turbine Test and Demo Application" on your laptop, and select the tab Test Mode View.

Audio Clip to Loudspeaker

Start playing an audio clip by clicking on the wanted audio clip. Stop Playing will terminate the play.

Play audio clips in loudspeaker


Audio Clip to Mic

When Audio Clip to Mic Signal is enabled the audio file will be played to the microphone input instead of speaker output.

This means that during an active call one can send an audio clip from the Turbine under control to the other conversation partner.

Tone Frequency Slider

Slide to play tones with 100 HZ steps 100-8000 Hz.

Audio Recordings

On the Turbine devices it is possible for debugging purposes to record the audio, and store the audio files on the device it self.

This could be helpful when experiencing audio quality issues. The device will record what it is playing, picking up and what it is sending to the other participant of the conversation after echo- and noise cancellation have been applied.

  • Start Recording: New recording starts and timer counter shows time of running recording
  • Stop Recording: Stop recording and writeout wav headers to .wav files.
  • Download Recordings: Click on link and all three recoding files are downloaded to PC. Check Status window for destination
Audio Recording



The recorded files:

  • AecSignalMicIn.wav: Recorded signal direct from mic (HW Codec ADC). This signal is only processed by HW Codec by Gain blocks and Filter blocks.
  • AecSignalOut.wav: Signal out from AEC filter and software gain blocks. This is the real signal sent to far-end station in conversation.
  • AecSignalToSpeaker.wav: Signal from far-end station in conversation after decoding audio codec. Played directly to speaker and used as AEC reference signal.

Prefix: Add a filename prefix for all recordings for easy doing a series of recordings and label the files.


Demo Mode View

From the Demo Mode View tab you can play audio clips of prerecorded speech, music and alarm signals. In order to use the Demo Mode View, a Demo Media Package must be installed in the Turbine device.

Load media files onto Turbine device

  • From the downloads page download the file vsf-demo-media_2.0.3.0.ipk to your computer
  • Use a TFTP server on your PC, and upload the file from to the Turbine station by selecting Station Administration > Manual Upgrade in the web interface. Note: Enter the filename without the .ipk extension
  • Select Start Upgrade. The file will now be uploaded. This process takes approximately 2 minutes
Upload the media package file



  • When the upload is finished, select Upgrade. The media files will now be installed and the Turbine station will reboot.
