7.4 MULTITONES

It is possible to generate multitones (mutiple sinusoids signals). Select the

Multitone choice in the generator menu.

The following figure shows a multitone signal consisting of 31 sinusoids each with

frequency corresponding to the center frequencies of the standard 1/3rd of octave

bands from 20Hz to 20kHz and same amplitude.
