Limit the frequency range in Spectral Analysis

Post by signorpantofola » Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:28 pm

Hi,
Anyone knows how to set up a maximum frequency when doing a spectrum analysis? I tried to go to Preferences< Spectrograms < and then set the maximum frequency to 500 for example, then OK, but nothing changes when doing the next analysis.
Thanks if anyone can help.

Signorpantofola.

That's the frequency of show that it will analyze, not the output of the analysis. It could be argued that the display doesn't go far enough up. If you have severe clipping at 8KHz, the damage will go up three harmonics -- that's 32 KHz.

Why would you want the display to stop sooner?
