Waterfall Display Facility - AOR SDU5600 Operating Manual

Section 5-7

5-7 Waterfall display facility

The SDU5600 is equipped with a waterfall facility which can display the variation of signal strengths in
conjunction with the time lapsed (as sweeps progress). Sixteen different colours are employed
dependant on signal strength, in the shape of a waterfall.
Press the FUNC + ˜ to start the waterfall display. The bottom half of the screen will be allocated to
the waterfall display and will build-up with time.
The waterfall display continues to operate being unaffected by change of the monitoring mode,
calculation mode, the RBW, centre frequency, frequency span, start frequency and end frequency.
To exit from the waterfall display, repeat the key sequence FUNC + ˜
Signal strength is represented by sixteen different colours, corresponding to the height of each signal
in the vertical scale. Therefore the colour will vary when the input sensitivity (AMPLITUDE) has been
altered in the course of monitoring.
While the waterfall display is in operation, the only parameter of the companion receiver which can be
altered is the receive frequency.
To exit from the waterfall display, repeat the key sequence FUNC + ˜ or press CLR
