7.5. Keypad Keys
7.5.1. Log/Linear Keypad</>
Keypad</> toggles the active spectrum window between logarithmic and linear vertical display.
This is duplicated by the Log and Lin radio buttons on the Sidebar. The vertical scale can also
be controlled with the Taller/Shorter commands, Keypad<+>/<
!
>, the <
8
> and <
9
> keys, and
<F7/F8>.
7.5.2. Auto/Manual Keypad<*>
Keypad<*> switches the spectrum window between automatic and manual vertical full scale
(see the discussion in Section 6.6.5). This is duplicated by the Auto button on the Sidebar, and
Display/Automatic.
7.5.3. Center Keypad<5>
Keypad<5> forces the marker to the center of the screen by shifting the spectrum without
moving the marker from its current channel. This is duplicated by Display/Center. For more
information, see Section 6.6.8.
7.5.4. Wider/Narrower Keypad<+>/<
!
>
Keypad<+> decreases the horizontal scale of the Expanded Display Window so the peaks
appear wider, while Keypad<
!
> increases the horizontal scale, making the peaks look narrower.
The horizontal and vertical scale values are displayed on the Sidebar. These functions are
duplicated by <F7>/<F8>.
