A distortion analyzer is an electronic test instrument that measures the accuracy of an electronic circuit at reproducing a wave. For instance, an audio amplifier might have a sine wave input to it, and the distortion analyzer measures how close the output is to a sine wave. If the output is clipped, the wave will be distorted, and the analyzer will measure the amount of harmonics present.
The analyzer does this by supplying a low distortion sine wave test signal which is connected to the device under test. The output from the device is connected to the input of the analyzer where the original input signal is filter out with a precision notch filter. Anything left over after filtering represents distortion components and noise. Amplifiers will frequently have a "Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise" specification which is an accurate term for the quantity measured by a distortion analyzer.
There are many manufacturers of distortion analyzers. The Hewlett-Packard models 331a and 333 are laboratory standard instruments. Other notable manufacturers are Sound Technology Corporation and Textronix.

Difference between spectrum analyzer and distortion analyzer?
The spectrum analyzer is used to do distortion analysis to the signal. Due to the fact that we don't have a pure generated signal. In reality, there must be some distortion. The distortion analysis is important in the communication field as well as in electronics.
What are the primary uses for an audio spectrum analyzer?
An Audio Spectrum analyzer (also known as a spectrograph) measures frequency response, noise and distortion characteristics in Radio Frequency circuits. Cell companies use them to measure interference before setting up a new tower.
What doesnt measure wind?
The voltmeter, hydrometer, odometer, frequency counter, spectrum analyzer, public opinion survey, and audio distortion analyzer do not measure wind. That said, however, a series of public opinion surveys may in some cases convey an indication of which way the wind is blowing.
