(...) Yes, the response time of the CLI is rather disappointing to say the least. Personally I think the CLI is best suited for controlling things like lights, and motors on someones town layout. For anything that requires precise control use an RCX (...) (16 years ago, 7-Feb-09, to lugnet.robotics)

Thanks Brian (...) Your excellent graph shows that you tried to maintain the sound pressure constant.

I realized that a better way would be to vary the signal generator level at each frequency, but often when trying that I simple "maxed out" the reported level from the sound (...)
