6. Information on Wave Frequency Areas
The left side of the canvas will show a frequency scale (image on page 38). It ranges
from 0 Hz - 30 Hz. Generally, the various frequency waves will be displayed in terms of
color.
When you click on a frequency marker within the canvas and move it to the higher Hz-
area, the background color of the canvas will change its color accordingly.
You can obtain information on the particular frequency areas by opening the PDF do-
cuments with the taskbar. Every frequency area has a greek alphabetic character. When
you drag a frequency marker to a higher frequency range, the color of the canvas and
the greek letter change automatically.
