Spectrogram Options Dialog Box
The Spectrogram Options Dialog Box provides the ability to change the appearance and
characteristics of the Spectrogram window.
Channels
Choose among the WaveRider channels (or among the saved channels, if an archive file is
being read); the chosen channels will be displayed in this Spectrogram window, one above
the other. Some of the channel checkboxes may be grayed, indicating channels that have a
different use category.
If multiple channels are displayed in one window, those channels become Linked; the ranges
of linked channels are always kept the same.
Timebase
Each of the vertical strips of color displayed in the Spectrogram window represents an
average of the frequencies over a selected number of seconds, ranging from a half second up
to 32 seconds. A longer timebase allows the Spectrogram window to display a record of the
frequencies over a longer period of time (up to several hours), while a shorter timebase
makes events such as a momentary burst of a certain frequency more visible.
Spacing
The default horizontal spacing uses one pixel per vertical strip. If x2 or x3 are selected, each
strip uses correspondingly more space in the window, making less data visible at one time.
Sample Color Bar
A sample is shown of the color range which is used to represent the frequencies. The
frequencies with the least amount of activity are depicted using the colors on the left end of
the sample, while frequencies with the greatest activity show as colors on the right end of the
sample. To select a different color scheme, choose the COLORS... command from the
OPTIONS menu.
