Notch Parameters Section 
  Notch Active 
This check box activates or deactivates the generation of a notch in the equally 
spaced multi-tone signal. 
  Start Tone 
It is the index of the first tone to be removed in a notch. Acceptable indexes start 
with 1. 
  Stop Tone 
It is the index of the last tone to be removed in a notch. Acceptable indexes start 
with 1. 
  Center Frequency 
It is an indicator only. The central frequency for the notch is computed and shown 
in this field. 
  Span 
It is an indicator only.  The tone-free frequency span for the notch is computed and 
shown in this field. 
 
Arbitrary Tones Section 
Alternatively, an edition table shows-up for arbitrarily spaced tones definition 
(“Arbitrary” selected in the Tone Distribution drop-down list). When not previously 
edited (or empty), the table is automatically loaded with the parameters of the tones 
defined in the equally spaced tone sections. This allows for easy edition of individual 
tones or the creation of multiple notches, or both. Parameters for each tone include its 
frequency (in Hz), its relative amplitude (in dB), and phase (in degrees). Entries in the 
table may be added, edited, and deleted. Entries in the table may be also sorted in 
ascending or descending order of any parameter by clicking in the corresponding field 
name.  
Addition of a new entry in the table must be done by editing the empty edition field 
located at the bottom of the table. Deletion of any number of entries can be performed 
by selecting the ones to be deleted and then hitting the <Del> key in the keyboard. 
Meaningful numeric values must be typed into the edition fields. Otherwise an error 
condition is triggered. While a valid frequency entry must be always entered, any of the 
amplitude and phase edition fields may kept empty so they take the default values (0.0 
dB for Amplitude and 0.0 degrees for Phase).
