  1. Hi,

    I would like to be able to set the tone amplitudes as a voltage level rather than in dBs.  Why? 'Cos Fourier Synthesis of simple waveforms uses integer divisors for the amplitude.  Converting to dBs is a minor pain.  Worse, the conversion loses precision.  Decimal points on the dB amplitude would help but it seems simpler to allow amplitudes to be specified in volts - with a suitable precision.  After all, the dBs will be converted to a floating-point level, internally, so why not allow that as an input?

    Regards

  2. Hi,

    I have a similar problem.  I want to demonstrate Fourier Synthesis.  That is easy for a square wave but triangle and sawtooth waves need a phase reversal on odd tones.

    The obvious way to specify the phase reversals is to give the tones concerned a negative frequency.

    An even better solution would allow the relative phase of the tone to be specified.

    So why no negative frequencies?

    Regards
