The undamped spectra are also computed but are not<br />

displayed due to their limited applicability in engineering<br />

seismology/earthquake engineering. The calculation takes a<br />

few seconds for a normal length time-history. The method<br />

given in Beaudet & Wolfson (1970) is used to calculate the<br />

spectra. The spectra are displayed using the units selected by<br />

the user in the ‘Options’ window and using the other selected<br />

options.<br />

Also shown in this figure (if the ‘Display metadata’ option is<br />

selected in the ‘Options’ window) are the basic earthquake,<br />

waveform and station metadata of the selected time-history.<br />

Multiple time-histories selected<br />

Clicking on this button when multiple time-histories have been<br />

selected calculates and plots the elastic absolute and relative<br />

input energy spectra and their equivalent velocities (e.g.<br />

Chapman, 1999) of the currently selected time-histories for the<br />

damping level specified in the ‘Options’ window and displays<br />

them on the same sub-figures so that they can easily be<br />

compared (see below).<br />
