Scale 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 Levels in dB
    This switch lets you choose whether to display levels in dB or standard units.
  • Level Scale
    Tap on Level Scale to select a vertical scale for the plot in standard units per division. Autoscale will be turned off. If the Show Levels in dB option is switched on, changing the Level Scale will switch it off.
  • dB Level Scale
    Tap on dB Level Scale to select a vertical scale for the plot in dB per division. Autoscale will be turned off. If the Show Levels in dB option is switched off, changing the dB Level Scale will switch it on.
  • Frequency Units
    This segmented control lets you choose whether to display frequencies in Hz or cpm (cycles per minute).
  • Min/Max Frequency Band
    The range of frequency bands displayed in the plot can be set with the Min/Max selection values. These are always specified in units of Hz, regardless of the Frequency Units selection, above.
    Exported data will include all available frequency bands, regardless of the Min/Max selection for display.
    Available octave bands: 1 Hz to 64 kHz, depending on sample rate. Available 1/3-octave bands: 0.8 Hz to 80 kHz, depending on sample rate.
