Managing Spectrum Settings

This section explains how to manage the default settings used for calculation of a spectrum in Sound: Analysis and Specification (SAS).

To Manage Spectrum Calculation Settings:

  1. Click File > Preferences to display the Preferences dialog.
  2. Select the Spectrum tab to display the current default settings for the frequency-domain window.
  3. Set the Default frequency domain calculation settings:
    1. Specify the default analysis Window Type to use for the calculation of a spectrum.
    2. Specify the default FFT size to use for the calculation of a spectrum.
    3. Specify the default value of Overlap to use for the calculation of a spectrum.
    4. Specify the default Window Size (you can also select Same as FFT size).
    5. Specify the Spectrum Type which will be the default type for spectrum display used in SAS when calculating a spectrum (you can still change the spectrum display type once the spectrum is displayed).
  4. Click the Miscellaneous tab.
    1. Set the Default number of cursors to be added to the frequency-domain window.
    2. If you want to open several signals in the same window, select Open multiple files into a same window.
  5. Click to specify the Word document in .doc format to use as a template when you create an analysis report.
  6. Click OK.

The default general settings for spectrum windows are set.
