and spectrogram resolution can be used to customize the display. Note: STRIP settings
can be collected in a SIGNAL macro for convenience.
5. After using STRIP to review the sound file and locate vocalization events, read individual
events into SIGNAL using the R /Q command.
6. Use SIGNAL to measure and analyze the sound events. Events can also be saved on disk
as individual sound files if desired.
7. SIGNAL can be programmed to perform many acoustic measurements automatically on
an entire group of sound files. See the programming chapters in the SIGNAL Reference
Guide
7. Using WaveDisk with RTS
tm
WaveDISK can be used together with the Real-Time Spectrogram
tm
(RTS) program to
record and visually review, measure, and edit extended acoustic data sequences up to hours in
length. The two programs work together as follows:
• WaveDisk can digitize an entire data tape to a sound file, or perform direct-to-disk
recording, bypassing the tape entirely.
• RTS can rapidly page or scroll through the sound file on-screen, while measuring,
extracting, and storing sound parameters and sound segments directly from the screen.
Navigating a sound file on disk is much more efficient than playing, pausing, and
replaying from a tape player!
The RTS can scroll or page rapidly forward or backward through a sound file to search for
events interest. For example, this 30-second sample screen was scrolled in 3 seconds – a
review rate of 10 times real-time! The user can also page through the sound file in either
direction at 15 times real-time.
