Charting
When analyzing a project, we’re usually interested in the total noise level for Receivers (as opposed to specific calculation paths). For example, 2 calculation paths might achieve an NC-30; but, when we consider that these may have an additive effect, it’s possible that the end result of the Receiver does not achieve the project requirement.
The charting view can be used as a diagnostic tool to analyze the contribution of various paths to a Receiver. A charting icon sits above the header of individual calculation paths. Click the icon to open the charting view.

Tabular results of the Receiver are displayed at the top, which is logarithmic sum of all calculation paths associated with the Receiver, by default. Below this, you’ll find tabular results of each calculation path. Both the Receiver and Calculation Path results include Silenced and Unsilenced levels. This allows you to quickly see the results with and without noise control treatments. In the left margin of each record, a checkbox allows you to turn on and off any record for display in the chart, which shows all results overlaid on Noise Criteria contour lines.
