Hi Sweep the transfer function from 100 Hz down to 0.001 Hz at 50 points per decade. Spend enough time at each point to get to 0.001 db sort of accuracy. The first decade goes pretty fast. That last decade ( 0.01 Hz period to 0.001 Hz) …. not so much. The request always has both the silly frequency and the nonsense db fraction in it ….
