This can be multiple lines of information. The Edit button ( ). pops up a multi-line text editor.Hold the mouse pointer over this field to see the full text. It it can also be included when printing out the sound plot report.

• Sound time - The time duration of the sound is displayed next to the audio file name (format mm:ss.t, minutes: seconds: tenths-sec. , example 01:25.9 ). You can display or truncate the tenths digit as desired -- See Tools -- Options dialog.
