Time Frames
The time information in the spectrogram is displayed vertically, along the y-axis. Each
line (or trace) of the y-axis represents one or more captured sweeps and is called a
time frame
or simply "frame". As with standard spectrum traces, several measured
values are combined in one sweep point using the selected detector.
(See
chapter 7.3.1.1, "Mapping Samples to Sweep Points with the Trace Detector"
Frames are sorted in chronological order, beginning with the most recently recorded
frame at the top of the diagram (frame number 0). With the next sweep , the previous
frame is moved further down in the diagram, until the maximum number of captured
frames is reached. The display is updated continuously during the measurement, and
the measured trace data is stored. Spectrogram displays are continued even after sin-
gle sweep measurements unless they are cleared manually.
The maximum number of frames that you can capture is summarized in
