I'm quite happy that DW has it more or less right. I expected worse results, as we know DW sometimes promises more than it meets (like torpedo wires, or sound model before 1.03).

This tool is serious, or it is an --entertainment--?
Only beautiful figure....
What levels of a signal you measure?:hmm:
