- Starts a recording.
Share Button
- Brings up the share dialog.
Delete
- Deletes the recording at the top of the Subject Recording List (middle scrollable list).
Help
- Brings you to the home page of this website.
S/N
- Displays the Signal-to-Noise ratio of the recording at the top of the Subject Recording List.
TP
- Displays the total power using a log scale.
- TP = 10 Log10( totalPower )
- An increase of 10 in TP means that totalPower is multiplied by 10.
- An increase of 3 in TP means that totalPower is multiplied by 2.
Recording Line
- The graph at the top shows the power of the sound vs. time.
Show and Hide in the Composite Drawing
- Tap the Date and Time to select or deselect a recording for display in the composite drawings.
Little Overlay Drawing
- Shows the selected recording in the Subject Recording List and in each of the color group lists.
Big Overlay Drawing
- Tap the small composite drawing to toggle on and off the display of a larger version that replaces the recording lists.
Recording List
- A scrollable list in the middle showing a profile for each drawing in black and with the most recent drawing at the top of the list.
- Use a panning gesture to scroll.
Color Group Lists
- Each of 26 subjects (A, B, …) has a color group for each of 19 colors indicated by the colored squares.
- The scrollable lists at the left and right each display one of these color groups.
- The color in the black-outlined center square determines the color group to be displayed.
- You push a recording to the left (or to the right) from the center to add it to the color group being displayed on the left (or right).
- You push a recording in the color list either to the left or to the right to delete it from that color list.
Subjects
- See Your Breathing can collect recordings for 26 separate subjects. The subjects are labeled by the letters of the alphabet presented in a scrollable list across the top of the Subject Recording List.
- The subject in the black-outlined center square is the selected subject, e.g. the subject for which the recordings are displayed in all the lists and the composite drawing.
- New recordings belong to the selected subject.
Groups, Colors and the Composite Drawing
- The color groups let you define patterns you see in your recordings.
- You put one or more examples of a pattern into a color group and use the example(s) to "define" the group for yourself and to show others.
- The composite drawing helps you compare recordings.
- You include recordings from different color groups in the composite drawing to compare different patterns to each other and to new recordings.
- The mechanism to include a member of a color group in the composite drawing and to color the recording by the color of the group is to select the recording in the color group list, i.e. tap on its Date and Time.
- When a recording is selected the recording's Data and Time are drawn in bold black italics.
- The Subject Recording List is referred to as the black group and its selected recordings are drawn in the composite drawing in shades of gray.
- When you select a recording in a color group or in the black group, all other copies of the recording in other groups are deselected.
- If you do not want a particular drawing in the composite drawing, you deselect it by tapping its Date and Time.
- This way no more than one copy of the recording appears in the composite drawing.
Advanced Methods for Comparing Different Subjects and Seeing How Different Color Groups Overlap
- Advanced methods of selection allow you to compare the recordings of more than one subject in the composite drawing at the same time.
- You can also show multiple copies of a particular recording that is a member of several different color groups in the same composite drawing. This allows you to see how color groups relate.
- You can temporarily add the recordings of a non-selected subject to the selected subject's recordings by pushing the non-selected subject's letter name up.
- Pushing the non-selected subject's letter name back down undoes this operation.
- You can temporarily change the status of a color group of recordings by pushing the color label up or down.
- You can temporarily change the status of a black group of recordings by pushing the selected subject letter name up or down.
- Up indicates that temporarily all recordings in that group are selected.
- Down indicates that temporarily none of the recordings in that group are selected.
- The middle position indicates that temporarily only the actually selected recordings are selected.
- Each temporarily selected recording is drawn in the composite drawing in its own color and when more than one copy of a recording is to be drawn, the copies are drawn with small offsets so that the recordings do not completely hide each other.
Above there are two red recordings and two green recordings. One recording is both red and green and one recording is neither, i.e. the black recording.
