Output details

High-speed ultrasound software, plus hardware synchronisation with audio/video channels.

Rationale for grouping short items as a single output:

We submit a portfolio with a guide to its contents to convey the character of the research. We cannot submit working hardware and software in a way that can be evaluated otherwise. One key part is the AAA v2.14 highspeed ultrasound manual, written by Wrench. Other material includes software, software key, sample data, and descriptions of how it is used, including videos.

Statement where the location or medium of the output is essential for a proper understanding of the research:

The medium of the output properly conceived is not just software, or a manual. It's an environment / instrument for articulatory phonetics research. To properly convey the nature of the research it would probably need to be rated by a user of similar instrumentation, or better, someone familiar with the challenges of articulatory phonetics and the creation of a new instrumental tool. A limited trial of AAA can be downloaded (See guide in portfolio) but we supply a fully functioning version with license, a few sentences of data, and other manuals and guide material to investigate the output, plus some descriptions of the underlying challenges solved by the research.

This output represents a complex combination of research over many years that is hard to disentangle into 2 or more separate outputs, and is associated with a significant integrated research programme. To separate into smaller outputs would be artificial and detrimental. This complexity is reflected in the other notes attached to this output, the choice of "other" as its type, and the use of a portfolio. The coherent concept of the research output is a single working data capture and analysis system, comprising software and hardware, existing as part of a bigger multichannel suite of instruments.
