The above figure illustrates this process. Following is an overview of the steps involved.
1. Present the acoustic vocalization stream to the microphone or hydrophone.
2. Connect the microphone or hydrophone to WaveDisk.
3. Use WaveDisk to digitize and record the vocalization stream to one or more continuous
sound files. Normally, set the WaveDisk sample rate to at least 2.5 times the desired
recording bandwidth.
4. Start SIGNAL and use the STRIP command to view a continuous spectrogram of the
recorded sound file. STRIP produces a multi-screen "strip-chart" frequency-time
spectrogram (hardcopy will be available in the future), with typically 30-60 seconds of
sound per screen. This allows the user to navigate through a long recording, spotting
sound events and extracting them for detailed analysis. Settings such as frequency range
