Software for frequency measurments

all,

I have always measured the frequency response of a parabolic set up at a
distance of 30 meters, outside. A loudspeaker has been fed with a sine wave
sweep, controlled by a reference mic. The parabol has been 30 meters away
from the loudspeaker, feeding an HP analog printer drawing "Y" =3D output a=
nd
"X" =3D frequency, as usual.

But to get a good printer resolution, I have to make the sweeps at least 30
seconds. The problem is then that I easily blow out the loudspeakers. The
loudpeaker winding gets hot and piezo horns don't work well.

Now I have though of doing this in another way: My sweep generator can swee=
p
20Hz -20kHz in 1 sec, shortest time. Any good loudspeaker can handle one
sec, even with a lot of effect. The winding never gets hot.

I can record the sweep on the DAT and feed it into my PC.

But I need a software to convert the recording into a common XY logaritmic
diagram. Wavelab has a 3D frequency analysis and I can choose different
options to view it, but noone is as simple as I want it.

Ideas?
