Octave Analyzer Display Options

Display Options

  • Autoscale
    Autoscale enables the vertical scale and range to be set automatically, which can make it easier to keep the live signal(s) visible in the plot. Sometimes, when a measurement doesn't appear as expected, setting Autoscale to Auto can solve the problem. When autoscale is off, the vertical scale of the plot can be manually adjusted by a two-finger pinch gesture within the axis label region of the plot. The range can be adjusted by a single-finger slide gesture within the axis label region.
  • Show Secondary Level
    In addition to the main spectral bars, the octave analyzer can also display the max or peak value at each frequency above each associated spectral bar. Use this switch to turn the secondary level display on or off.
  • Secondary Level Type
    Use the segmented control to select whether to display the max or peak values at each frequency above each associated spectral bar.
  • Draw Div Lines
    When this switch is on, horizontal grid lines will be drawn in the display, which divide the display into 20 equal divisions.
  • Frequency Units
    This segmented control lets you choose whether to display frequencies in Hz or cpm (cycles per minute).
  • Reference Curves
    This segmented control lets you choose whether to display NC, RNC, or NR curves over the spectrum bar graph.

Cursor Options

  • Peak Track
    The cursor may be configured to automatically move to the frequency of the peak value within the current spectrum. This option allows the peak track function to be disabled, or to track the maximum or minimum peak within the spectrum.
  • Peak Track Channel
    When working with multiple channels in the Octave analyzer, this option lets you choose which channel the peak track function will apply to (the channel whose spectral peak will be tracked by the cursor).
  • Horizontal Bar
    When working with multiple channels in the Octave analyzer, this option lets you show or hide the horizontal bar. It also lets you choose which channel the horizontal cursor bar will be associated with.

Imported Data

  • Trace Opacity
    Use this slider control to adjust the opacity of static data traces (loaded from data files) in the graph.
  • Trace Thickness
    This segmented control can be used to select the thickness of the static octave data traces in the graph.
