Method list

General

The following general settings are available:

batch mode

If checked, the analysis application is closed automatically when finished. This option can only be used if automatic printout and/or automatic parameter save is enabled.

Automatic Printout

If checked, the printout of the waveform plot is started automatically and the application is closed when the printout is finished. The button starts the print settings dialog.

do not print cursors

If checked, the cursors are not printed. This option works only for the automatic printout.

automatic parameter save

If checked, the computed parameters (but not the spectrogram) are automatically saved. Older versions of same parameter methods computed for the analysed segment are replaced.

Automatic Segment Names

If checked, the id of new segments is assigned automatically. The format of the automatic name depends on the settings of the Automatic Segment Names dialog, which can be opened with this button.

show sectioner windows

Enable / disable the sectioner windows. If enabled, the sectioner windows are shown on top of the analysis display.

automatic sectioner plot

Enable / disable automatic sectioner update. If enabled, the sectioner windows are updated every time a time scale cursor is selected or moved. Otherwise the user must press the function key F8 to update the sectioner.

show x grid, show y grid

Enable/disable the grid on the x/y-scales of the all graphs. This setting is not applied to the sectioner windows, which have their own grid settings.

x scale position and window

Selects the position (below or above graph) and window (none, lowest, highest or all) where the x-scale (time) should be displayed.

title window

Selects the graph (none, lowest, highest or all), where the analysis title (audio-set, segment and channel) should be displayed.

show dialog

Show / hide the analysis application control dialog and select the dialog position (below or above graph windows)

Color Scheme

With this button the Color Scheme and Settings dialog is opened to select and/or configure the plot colors, line styles and general graphics settings. The selected color scheme is displayed in the button caption.

show formants in spectrogram

If checked, the formant tracks (method: formants) are plotted over the spectrogram, otherwise they are plotted in a separate graph window (like all other methods). If overlaid, the scale and unit settings of the spectrogram are used instead of the formant settings.

timescale

Choose the timescale to use on the x-axis. The clock setting displays the time in hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds from the beginning of the displayed segment (E.g. 0:01:00.000 which means 1 minute from the beginning of the displayed segment). If layout-defaults is specified, the timescale set in the Display Layout and Format dialog is used.

enable zoom and autoscale

If checked, then the zoom and autoscale features are turned on.

enable one-click range selection

If checked, you can set a new cursor range by clicking anywhere in the graph, dragging and letting go. This can make selecting a cursor range very easy. However, if you prefer to be able to change the cursor range only by selecting a cursor and dragging it, please disable this check box.

play window

The size of the window to be played when the hotkey SPACE is pressed.

parameters

Choose whether parameters are computed or loaded on analysis.
