We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

I would recommend connecting an Electrical Network Analyzer with the "analysis type" property set to "impulse response" to the TWE element while changing the properties to see the effect on the element. This will give you the entire spectrum of the element's reponse instead of just the properties at one frequency, which is what you get with the sine wave source. This will give you a better understanding of what changing each of the properties does to the element's response.

As for the different number of samples, this is normal. The signals generated by each of the sources could go through different delays, so they may not have perfect overlap in time at each of the elements. This results in fewer data points recorded by the monitor.
