Multitone Coercion Routine

The Multi-tone primitive coerces frequencies so that all of the tones contain an integer number of cycles. The values are coerced using the following methods:

• Start Frequency (Hz): Coerced to a multiple of the frequency resolution defined by the ratio of the waveform Sample Rate (defined in File»Properties) divided by the Component Size.
• Step Frequency (Hz): Coerced to a multiple of the frequency resolution defined by the ratio of the waveform Sample Rate (defined in File»Properties) divided by the Component Size.
• End Frequency (Hz): Coerced to equal Start Frequency + n * Step Frequency, where n is an integer.

Tip  If the coercion routine does not return satisfactory results, consider manually changing the waveform Sample Rate (defined in File»Properties) and the Component Size to adjust the constraints placed on the routine.
