Figure 9-33: View controls
These settings are independent of the small graph
display options (Figure 9-10 on page 80), so you
have the flexibility to display different
combinations in each graph.
☛
“Show EQ Controls” will be available only if
the focused pair is a stereo input pair or stereo
output pair.
Logarithmic or Linear X-Axis Scale
The x-axis defaults to a logarithmic scale, but can
be changed to a linear scale if desired. In the View
controls (Figure 9-33), click
Logarithmic to access
the x-axis scale options menu. With a linear scale
selected, frequency is constant, but the width of
each octave along the x-axis is different. With a
logarithmic scale selected, octaves are displayed
with a constant width, but frequency is displayed
logarithmically within each octave.
Axes display
The Axes control (Figure 9-33) sets the opacity of
the grid displayed in the graph, from 100% (fully
visible) down to 0% (fully hidden).
Pausing the display
The Pause button in the upper right corner of the
View section (Figure 9-33) allows you to freeze the
display at any time. To resume, click the button
again.
Horizontal controls (frequency axis)
The Horizontal controls (Figure 9-34) configure
the value range of the x-axis (frequency). 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 9-34).
Figure 9-34: Horizontal control menu
In Zoom/Offset mode, Zoom sets the display zoom
from 1x to 100x, where the number represents the
zoom factor relative to the entire frequency range.
For example, when the horizontal zoom value is 1x,
the entire frequency range from 10 to 24000 Hertz
is displayed; when the horizontal zoom value is 2x,
one half of the entire frequency range is displayed.
Pos determines which frequency is displayed at the
center of the graph.
In Min/Max mode, Min and Max set the lowest and
highest displayed frequencies (in Hertz).
Vertical controls (amplitude axis)
The Vertical controls (Figure 9-29) operate
similarly to the Horizontal controls, except that
they configure the y-axis (amplitude).
In Zoom/Offset mode, Zoom sets the display zoom
from 1x to 100x, and Pos sets the center amplitude
of the graph. In Min/Max mode, Min and Max set
the smallest and largest displayed amplitude.
Spectrogram controls
The Floor control (Figure 9-29) sets the amplitude
threshold for the spectrogram display, from -144
dB up to 0 dB.
The Alpha control (Figure 9-29) sets the opacity of
the spectrogram information displayed in the
graph, from 100% (fully visible) to 0% (hidden).
