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 />
