Application & Setup Tree
The Application & Setup Tree area of the Workspace is located on the left-hand side of the Workspace window. Each of the functions and applications shown can be selected from the tree. The selected application or setup function starts in a window of its own and opens additional windows as needed. Though unusual at first, you will soon come to appreciate the flexibility which this allows you in displaying windows from different applications side by side.
STx stores all these parameters in the current STx INI file (the default is stxini.xml). Since the user may require different STx configurations, the user can save and load different STx INI files. In order to save a new configuration under a different name, use the menu File > Workspace > Save As. The default STx settings are stored in the read-only file stxconfig.xml. If you every need to restore the original STx settings, close STx, delete the STx INI file and restart STx.
Warning: The stxconfig.xml file should never be edited by the user!The Application & Setup Tree is divided into a number of different branches, grouping related functionality:
Tools
The Tools branch in the Application & Setup Tree contains the following tools:
- Recorder - an application for recording and segmenting on the fly
- FindFile - an application for finding sound files on local and network disks
Signal Analysis & Display
The Signal Analysis & Display branch of the Application & Setup Tree offers the user the following applications for analysing and displaying signals:
- Real-Time Analyser - for analysing input signals in real-time.
- Waveform & Segmentation Viewer - for the segmentation of sound files using a waveform display
- Spectrogram & Parameters Viewer - for analysis and parameter extraction using multiple analysis methods
- Spectrum Viewer - for computation and display of averaged spectra
- All applications (except the Real-Time Analyser) store their settings in so-called 'profiles'. After installing STx, there are a number of default pre-configured profiles available.
Parameter Processing
The Parameter Processing branch of the Application & Setup Tree offers the user the the following applications for viewing and exporting parameters:
Signal Processing
There are a number of signal processing functions available in STx:
- Amplifier and Limiter
- Normalize
- Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
- Filter (LP/BP/HP)
- Filter Spectrum
- Noise Reduction
- Irrelevance Threshold
Options
The Options branch of the Application & Setup Tree contains a collection of global STx settings.
- Display Layout and Format - setup the content, format and sort parameters for DataSet display in the Detail and Overview
- Signal I/O Settings - configure audio input and output settings
- Printer - configure the default printer settings
- Automatic Segment Names - configure how automatic segment names are generated (see Creating block segments)
- Color Schemes - configure the color schemes used by the viewer applications
