Notes

Oscilloscope: The OScope can plot the amplitude of two signals as they change over time. Connect the signal to monitor to a Y input. Use the range inputs to expand the vertical display. The value at the r input corresponds to the height of the display. Use the offset inputs to move the display up and down. The value at the o input corresponds to the middle of the display. Adjust the sweep rate using the popup panel. Faster sweep rates show more detail, up to 1 sample per pixel. The optional trigger input will delay the sweep until the signal crosses zero. You may choose to sweep on the positive, negative or either edge. Spectrum Analyzer: The spectrum analyzer shows the frequency content of one frame (1024 samples) of data. Connect the signal to monitor at the Y input. Use the r input to set the vertical range. The value at the r pin corresponds to the frequency at the bottom of the display Set the width of the display using the popup panel. At smaller widths you can use the o input to shift the display left and right. The averaging trace shows the average spectrum strength over several frames. Sonograph: The songraph plots spectrums on a 2 dimensional graph using color to indicate amplitude. Connect the signal to monitor at the Y input. Use the r input to adjust the color scale. Select the vertical scale using the popup panel. At lower scales you can use the o input to adjust the display up and down. The value at the o input corresponds to the frequency at the bottom of the display. Adjust the sweep rate using the popup panel.
