Hi, SINAD is a combination of a narrowband measurement of the Sine signal, and a broad band measurement of the noise along with distortion. This is not the right tool for SINAD. The most direct way would be to get something like an hp 8903b. Maybe even some software with PC and sound card would work. I have not kept up with what is out there for this. Search ComTekk SINAD or Sound Card SINAD.
@@w1qg thanks for the nice answer. Yes, no doubt the SINAD measurement can be done with a sound card nowadays. But I love the look and feel of these old HP instruments :) Nice Channels, I subscribed!
Thanks for the great, no frills demo. I wish there were more of these.
I love old gear and analog meters for audio signals.
Hello! thanks for this very nice video! Is there a way to use this HP 3581a to measure SINAD? thanks!

all that and no mention of what your use for it is,...
This is used for audio frequencies (20hz ~ 20KHz) measurement / analysts. ~Jack, VEG
It's like an audio spectrum analyser but without the visual interface.
Yes but what do you use that for
