For examples that use an Octave Band plot, see Absorptive Muffler: Application Library path Acoustics_Module/Automotive/absorptive_muffler and The Brüel & Kjær 4134 Condenser Microphone: Application Library path Acoustics_Module/Electroacoustic_Transducers/bk_4134_microphone.

Pressure (the default), to compute the octave plot treating the expression as an pressure prms. The input is the value p (it is generally a complex-valued variable). It is in turn used to calculate the rms pressure prms, which defines the level L:

•

•
|
•
|
1/3 octave bands, to plot the response using 1/3 octave bands.
|
•
|
1/6 octave bands, to plot the response using 1/6 octave bands.
|
The predefined weightings are defined in IEC 61672-1. See IEC 61672-1 Electroacoustics - Sound level meters - Part 1: Specifications for details.
|
•
|
Z-weighted (flat) (the default), to use a zero weighting; that is, a flat weighting.
|
•
|
A-weighted, to use a weighting that mimics the loudness perceived by the human ear.
|
•
|
C-weighted, to use a C-weighting, which is an alternative standardized weighting that is in use within the acoustics community.
|
•
|
Expression, to enter a user-defined value or expression for the weighting in the Expression field. The expression defines the gain as a function of the frequency. The gain given in dB is then given as 20·log10(expression). Use the frequency variable freq for user-defined expressions.

Select Bar (the default) to display filled bars. Then select the color for the bars from the Color list. Choose Custom to select a custom color from the color palette that appears.
|
•
|
Select Outline to display outlines of the bars. You can then specify settings for the line style and line markers for the outlines.
|
•
|
Select Line to display a graph connecting the centerpoints of the bands. You can then specify settings for the line style and line markers for the graph.
