Character | Description |
---|---|
Call duration | Time from the beginning of the first note to the end of the last note of the call |
Number of notes per call | Number of notes in the call |
Rise time of the call | Time from the beginning of the call to the point of its maximum amplitude |
Number of pulses per call | Number of pulses in the call |
Type I note duration | Time from the beginning to the end of the long note |
Number of pulses of the Type I note | Number of pulses of the long note |
Rise time of the Type I note | Time from the beginning of Type I note to the point of its maximum amplitude |
Type II note duration | Time from the beginning to the end of the short note |
Number of pulses of the Type II note | Number of pulses of the short note |
Distance between notes | Time between the end of one note and the beginning of the following note |
Average of the dominant frequency call | Average frequency of the harmonic with the maximum energy at the beginning, middle and end of the call |
Frequency bandwidth | The higher frequency at any point of the call minus the lowest frequency at any point of the call |
Distance between pulses | Time from the highest amplitude peak of a pulse to the highest amplitude peak of the following pulse |
