Software
Graphic equalizer, parametric equalizer, and cut/shelf windows can display data contained in an ASCII file
exported from either an SIA-Smaart transfer function measurement or a Gold Line TEF TDS measurement.
Function
Use the ASCII file import feature to display frequency vs. magnitude information measured in Smaart or
TEF. By inverting the data, you can use the display as a visual guide when setting EQ parameters. The
display only shows amplitude values for frequencies contained in the file; it does not interpolate a line
between actual measured points. Consequently, there may be empty space in the display, particularly at
low frequencies.
The ASCII import feature is compatible with files generated from:
§ Transfer function measurements in SIA-Smaart

Pro (versions 2/x and 3.x), and SIA
SmaartLive™.
§ TDS measurements in all versions of TEF™ TDS software for Windows and DOS.
Saving Smaart Files in ASCII Format
To export a measurement using Smaart software, measure in Transfer Function Mode. Then select
[File>ASCII Save] from within the Smaart application.
Saving TEF Files in ASCII Format
To export a measurement using TEF TDS software, proceed as follows:
1. Select [File>Save] from within the TEF TDS application.
2. Enter file information, and click "Save." In the "Save TDS File" window, select "ASCII" as the
file type.
