OSCILLOSCOPE
The Oscilloscope (Figure 9-10) graphs the
amplitude of an audio signal over time.
Amplitude is displayed on the y-axis and time is
displayed on the x-axis. A thick white vertical line
marks where time equals zero; a thick white
horizontal line marks where amplitude equals zero
(Figure 9-10, below).
Level meters are displayed to the right of the graph.
One or two meters are shown, depending on the
current view mode (see “View controls”).
View controls
The View controls (Figure 9-11) provide several
options for the oscilloscope display.
