Step 5: What to save?

The save options allow you to choose between saving raw features table, saving syllable tables or saving nothing but sound (do not save). For bird R109 the default syllable table name is syll_R109

The File Table: If you do not want to deal with it, leave graphic checked. For bird R109 the default file table is file_table_R109

Manual setting of File table: The file table contains the list of processed file names with indexes that are linked to the raw feature table. It allows you to rebuild a syllable table (based on different segmentation criteria) from the raw feature tables. By default, the file table is created automatically and its name is file_table_ + the bird's name but you can use whatever name you like, either by creating a new file table or by retrieving one created earlier. In most cases, you will want to have one file table per bird.

Naming Raw Feature Tables:    The simplest option is to leave the default checked

This will auto-generate raw feature table for each experimental (or developmental) day. For example if the bird is called R109 the raw features tables will be called, for days 40, 41, 42, raw_R109_40 ,  raw_R109_41 ,  raw_R109_42

Manual setting of raw features table  Depending on your sound data, you might want to uncheck the Auto-create daily raw features table. For example, if you want to combine data from several days or if you are combining data across birds. After unchecking, click New Raw table or Change Raw table. Note that this raw feature table will remain the same throughout the batch. It might become huge though...
