Set display options 4. Choose from the following display options:
Color: Choose color to draw the waveform database in
colors that vary with how frequently each sample value
occurs in the database.
Invert: Choose this option to reverse the color or
intensity assignments to each grading partition. Inverting
the colors may make it easier to view the variations of
color or intensities, and makes it easier to see
frequencies or occurrences with smaller numbers of
counts.
Intensity: Choose Intensity to draw the waveform
database with varying intensities that vary with how
frequently each sample value occurs in the database.
Grading Method: Select any one of four grading
methods available from the pull down menu.
Emphasize Counts: If you select one of the two
Emphasized grading methods, slide the Emphasize
Counts percentage control to specify the range of counts
you want emphasized.
Note. The Display Options controls apply globally to all
four databases that this instrument provides.
