<span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold;">TL Tool &mdash; Sound Transmission Loss</span><br/><br/>
Standalone application for measuring the <b>Sound Transmission Loss (TL)</b> and <b>sound absorption coefficient (&alpha;)</b> of acoustic materials using a 4-microphone impedance tube.<br/><br/>
Fully integrated with <b>OROS NVGate</b> for live acquisition and automatic result display &mdash; delivered as a plug-and-play <b>.exe</b>, no installation required.

! style="background:#6c1a1a;color:white;width:36%;" | Likely cause
! style="background:#6c1a1a;color:white;" | Solution
|-
| NVGate not connected || Analyzer off or Ethernet disconnected || Check Ethernet cable and NVGate status
|-
| Missing FRF data || Channels not configured || Click <b>Configure NVGate</b>, then re-run
|-
| TL values all zero or NaN || Incorrect tube geometry || Check x1&ndash;x4 positions and tube diameter
|-
| Negative TL values || No phase calibration || Run phase calibration in Acquisition tab
|-
| Frequency range too narrow || Microphone spacing too small || Increase x2&minus;x1 or x4&minus;x3 spacing
|-
| NVGate wrong octave resolution || Previous window reused || Fixed: each resolution uses a dedicated window
