Level meters are displayed to the right of the graph.
One or two meters are shown, depending on the
current view mode (see “View controls”).
Opening the oscilloscope
Each Track16 has its own oscilloscope. To open an
oscilloscope, choose the
Oscilloscope item from the
Devices menu under the desired interface.
Choosing a channel to display
The oscilloscope follows the currently focused
audio input or output. If you focus a mono channel
(e.g. Analog 3), its corresponding stereo pair will
be displayed (Analog 3–4).
View controls
The View controls (Figure 9-36) provide several
options for the oscilloscope display.
Figure 9-36: View controls
View menu
The View menu (Figure 9-36) lets you choose how
you wish to display the audio channel(s) being
displayed.
Display options
The Axes control (Figure 9-36) sets the opacity of
the grid displayed in the graph, from 100% (fully
visible) down to 0% (fully hidden). The
Show Ruler
option toggles the measurement items (see
“Measurement information” on page 89).
Pausing the display
The Pause button in the upper right corner of the
View section (Figure 9-36) allows you to freeze the
display at any time. To resume, click the button
again. The level meters will remain active while the
display is paused.
Horizontal controls (time axis)
The Horizontal controls (Figure 9-37) configure
the value range of the x-axis (time). Click and drag
the values up or down to set them, or double-click
to return to the default value.
There are two modes for the controls: Zoom/Offset
and Min/Max . To change the mode, use the
Horizontal control menu (Figure 9-37).
Figure 9-37: Horizontal control menu
In Zoom/Offset mode, Zoom sets the display zoom
from 1/1000x to 10x, where the number represents
the number of pixels per sample. For example,
when the horizontal zoom value is 10x, 10 samples
are displayed in 100 pixels; when the horizontal
zoom value is 1/10x, 100 samples are displayed in
10 pixels.
Offset moves the line marking time
equals zero left or right.
In Min/Max mode, Min and Max set the earliest
and most recent displayed time.
