-NVH to enhance or mute specific sounds. By isolating frequencies, sounds that you
want to hear can be enhanced, while other sounds can be eliminated.
• To isolate sounds, select FFT Graph from the Wave Form Type dropdown menu on the user
interface. The FFT Graph displays the entire spectrum of sound on the active channel. The
horizontal axis of the graph shows which frequency a particular sound occupies. The vertical axis
shows the decibel level of the sound. The highest point on the graph indicates the frequency with
the most prominent sound.
• Using data from the FFT Graph, the equalizer can be used to hone in on sounds. On the User
Interface, click the button. In a separate window, the equalizer will open.

can hear.
