Selecting a constraint and distance measurement can be done by clicking Constraints and Distance menu.

Constraints

Distance

The applet provides three types of global path constraints: None, Slope 2 - 1/2 and Slope 3 - 1/3. Also three types of distance metric: Itakura Distance, Euclidean Distance and Absolute Distance. Let's use the default value in this tutorial, which is None for Constraints and Itakura Distance for Distance.

At this time, you have already selected the test signal, model and specified the constraint and distance metric, you are on the way to see what is dynamic-time-warping.
