Waveforms: Time streams of the signal as it is 
measured by the input. 

 

Spectra: Calculated spectrums displaying the 
amplitude in relation to frequency. 

The display can show any one type of measurement, or 
any combination of two, as shown in Figure 63. To change 
the display type, press 

F1 (Traces)

. The channel for each 

trace can also be set here. 

 

Figure 64: Display options 

The 

F2 (Param.)

 menu is where all Analysis, Input, Output, 

Tacho, and Display settings are defined.
