We all hate sudden changes in loudness - they're the #1 source of user complaints.
To avoid this and save us from being "blasted" unexpectedly, online streaming services measure loudness, and turn down music recorded at higher levels. We call this reduction the "Loudness Penalty" - the higher the level your music is mastered at, the bigger the penalty could be. But all the streaming services achieve this in different ways, and give different values, which makes it really hard to know how big the Loudness Penalty will be for your music...
Until now.
Simply select any WAV, MP3 or AAC file above, and within seconds we'll provide you with an accurate measurement of the Loudness Penalty for your music on many of the most popular music streaming services, and allow you to preview how it will sound for easy comparison with your favorite reference material.

Analyze another file| Issue | Likely Fix | |-------|-------------| | Cannot connect via USB | Reinstall USB drivers; check Device Manager for COM port | | Download fails | Put controller in STOP; check power; reduce baud rate | | Screen shows “No Program” | Send All again; verify screen transfer included | | Analog input reads 0 | Check wiring; configure input type (voltage/current) in I/O Config |
Updating the Bootloader: Old 990 units may have firmware that doesn’t support modern Cscape features (like email alerts).
Setting up Data Logging: The 990 has a microSD slot. In Cscape:
| Error Message | Likely Cause | Immediate Fix | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | "Timeout waiting for response" | Wrong COM port or baud rate mismatch | Check DIP switches. Run Auto-Configure. Reboot PC. | | "Verify failed at address 0x..." | Bad flash memory or power fluctuation | Cycle 990 power. Send program again. Replace internal battery. | | "Screen object corrupt" | HMI font library mismatch | Delete the offending screen object. Rebuild screen from scratch. | | "%AI Overscale" | 4-20mA sensor open or shorted | Check field wiring. In Cscape, set input range to "0-20mA" as a test. | | "CANbus Offline" | Terminating resistor missing | Add 120-ohm resistor at ends of CAN chain. |
Cscape 9.90 (specifically Service Pack 4 and later) is the cornerstone development software for Horner Automation Group's All-in-One controllers. It integrates PLC logic, HMI screen design, networking, and I/O configuration into a single environment, effectively eliminating the need for separate software packages. Core Functionalities
Integrated Logic & HMI: You can develop control logic (ladder or IEC-61131) and operator interface screens simultaneously. A major time-saver is the use of a single set of I/O references, which prevents duplication of effort during tag creation. cscape 990
IEC-61131 Support: Standard features include a powerful drag-and-drop ladder editor with nearly 100 functions for advanced math, string handling, and flow control.
Variable-Based Programming: Version 9.90 introduced enhanced support for data structures, which simplifies complex tasks like multi-channel data logging or managing repetitive motor/timer blocks. Pros
Free Accessibility: Unlike many industrial competitors, Cscape is available as a free download from the Horner website after registration.
Streamlined Configuration: I/O can be handled manually or automatically, and remote I/O expansion is managed within the same straightforward interface.
Unified Environment: The ability to switch between logic and screen design via simple tabs makes for a highly cohesive workflow when building industrial applications. Cons | Issue | Likely Fix | |-------|-------------| |
Learning Curve: While "straightforward" for seasoned PLC programmers, the integration of HMI and PLC into one software can be overwhelming for beginners compared to simpler standalone HMI editors.
UI Modernity: Compared to Horner's newer Cscape 10 or Canvas platforms, 9.90 follows a more traditional, classic industrial software aesthetic that may feel dated to some users. Verdict
Cscape 9.90 is a "workhorse" release. It is best suited for engineers working with Horner’s Micro OCS family who need a stable, proven environment for medium-complexity automation tasks. If you are starting a brand-new project with the latest hardware, however, you may want to look toward the Cscape 10 series for a more modernized interface and features.

Cscape 9.90 is a major software release from Horner Automation used for programming their OCS (Operator Control Station) controllers. The "solid features" introduced or enhanced in this version focus heavily on modernizing the programming environment and expanding hardware support. Key Features of Cscape 9.90
Enhanced IEC Programming: This is a major licensed feature introduced in Service Pack 4 (SP4) that supports up to 64,000 variables (up from 10,000) and provides performance equal to advanced ladder logic. Updating the Bootloader: Old 990 units may have
Logic Simulation: Allows users to simulate and debug IEC 6-1131 logic programs directly within the software before deploying to hardware.
Tag-Based Programming Support: Moving beyond traditional register-based programming, this version improves the use of tag-based variables, making the code more flexible and easier to read. Expanded Hardware & Connectivity: Wi-Fi Support: Currently available for XL+ models.
CANbus Protocols: Added support for J1939 and CANopen on various RCC models. BACnet/IP: Support for Micro OCS series with licensing. Graphics & UI Improvements:
Enhanced gauge styles (needle-only, triangle, and rhombus styles).
Improved image selection interface and automatic text wrapping for buttons.
Color-coded icons in the variable selection tree based on data type. Software Support
