Hello chummers, on the bottom of SR4A p.243 Matrix Signatures is described. The last line is "A technomancer or sprite may take a number of Complex Actions equal to the rating of a Matrix signature to erase it completely."
the whole description is:
MATRIX SIGNATURES
Any uses of Resonance abilities leave a Matrix signature on anything
they affect, including the node in which they are performed. This signature
is only detectable by other Resonance beings (technomancers
and sprites) with a Matrix Perception (3) Test. This Matrix signature
is a digital “fingerprint” of the technomancer or sprite that created
it. Signatures last for a number of hours equal to the rating of the attribute
used (a technomancer’s complex form rating or Resonance, or
a sprite’s rating). A signature can be recognized if seen again (perhaps
requiring a memory test, p.139). With five or more hits, the technomancer
or sprite also gets an impression of what complex form or type
of spirit created the signature.
A technomancer or sprite may take a number of Complex Actions
equal to the rating of a Matrix signature to erase it completely.
My question is, what is the rating of the signature? Or How do I find the rating of the signature? It seems like it might be saying it is the same as the number of hours it lasts, maybe?

As far as I'm aware, the rating of the Signature is equal to the Rating of the complex form used, just like a spell's Signature Rating is equal to the Force of the spell cast.

Thanks JaD that's good enough for me.
