Sheet

If you're starting a new calculation, this is where to start. This button loads one of the blank calculation sheets. The user can then click the buttons on the ribbon to build the calculation. The template sheets are:

Type Code Description
OCT Octave bands linear input
OCTA Octave bands A-weighted input
MECH Octave bands, linear input, regenerated noise section
TO One-third octave bands, linear input
TOA One-third octave bands, A-weighted input
LF_OCT Low frequency octave bands
LF_TO Low frequency one-third octave bands
CVT Converts from one-third octave bands to octave bands
Style A guide to the cell styles within Trace

Calc

Calculations set up for routine work, with users only required to change the inputs to the calculation. The list of Standard Calc sheets is generated from all the files in:

...TraceRootFolder\Standard Calc Sheets

Standard Calc sheets are not currently included in the latest Trace build. But you could imagine creating sheets for things like this:

Table of hypothetical Standard Calc Sheets
CODE Name Description
BA Barrier Attenuation Implements Maekawa's formula to predict barrier insertion loss
CT Cross Talk Calculates cross talk paths between rooms
FBI Façade Break In Calculates internal noise level from external source - multiple paths
GLZ Noise Ingress Glazing Predicts internal noise level of external noise source through glazing in one-third octave bands
N1L SEPP N-1 Limits Determines Noise Limits under State Environment Protection Policy No N-1 - Control of Noise from commerce, industry and trade
NR1L NIRV Limits Determines Recommended Maximum Noise Levels (RMNLs) under EPA Publication 1411 - Noise in Regional Victoria
P2W SWL to SPL Conversion Converts SPL to SWL for up to four sources. Converts SWL to SPL based on RT of room
R2R Room to Room Transmission Predicts noise levels in a room, transmitted through a partition from another room
RN Rain Noise Predicts rain noise based on roofing system.
RT RT Calculation Estimates Reverberation Time using 3 methods based on room geometry and finishes.
SIA Sound Insulation - Airborne Calculates Dw and DnTw for measured wall/floor systems
SII Sound Insulation - Impact Calculates LnTw for floor/ceiling systems
SSI Simple Spring Isolation Calculator Checks transmissibility of springs - no damping
JIS SPL to SWL (JIS method) Converts FCU SPLs to SWL reverse engineered paths and some assumptions (ROUGH)

Equipment Import

Used to process data from different pieces of equipment. Data can then be further processed for assessment or presented graphically in tables or figures. The list of Equipment Import sheets is generated from all the files in:
