SASLab Manual


Curve window : File


Print Prints the currently visible contents of the curve window. The parameters defined on the prop-down menu Export Parameters will be applied. Optionally a caption can be input.

Save Saves the visible contents of the curve window into a WMF-graphics-file.

Copy Copies the contents of the curve window into the clipboard (WMF-format).

Export Parameters...

Data export >

Save ASCII file Saves the curve window data into an ASCII-file.

Copy ASCII file Copies the curve window data into the clipboard (ASCII-format)

Add x axis increments This option will add the x-axis increments to the ASCII data in the two above commands.

Save as .WAV file� Saves the curve window data into a .wav file.

Copy WAV file Copies the curve window data into the clipboard (WAV-Format).

Save as .ft file� Saves the curve window data into an ASCII amplitude envelope file (*.at) that can be used for subsequent synthesis purposes (for instance on the command Edit > Change volume�).

Save as .flf file� Saves the curve window data into an ASCII spectrum / frequency response file (*.flf) that can be used for subsequent filtering purposes (for instance on the command Edit > Filter > Time Domain FIR Filter� or Edit > Filter > Frequency Domain Transformation�).

Copy cursor values The most recent values measured by the cross hair cursors will be copied into the clipboard. Additionally the measured values can be transferred to other Windows-applications by DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) or they can be stored into an ASCII-log-file. This has to be specified with the following menu "File/DDE Parameters / Log File".

DDE Parameters / Log File...


The following menu options are only available in the real-time spectrum display mode, which can be launched from the main window menu option File > Real-time spectrum.

Start real-time spectrum Start the real-time spectrum display.

Stop real-time spectrum Stops the real-time display.

Real-time spectrum setup: The following parameters can be adjusted:

FFT length: The FFT length determines the frequency resolution of the spectrum, which is equal to the sampling frequency divided by the FFT length.
Window type: The window type determines the suppression of spectral leakage and the effective frequency resolution.
Logarithmic power spectrum: If this option is checked, the spectrum will be displayed as a logarithmic power spectrum in dB.

Sound card settings... This dialog box allows setting the sampling frequency and bit-depth. If there is more than one sound card installed, the desired device can be selected. The other parameters (Duration of recording and Perform sampling-frequency conversion) do not affect the real-time spectrum display.
