Spectrogram and Waterfall Displays

Spectrogram and Waterfall Displays
Spectrogram and Waterfall displays provide a visual history of the measured
spectrum. Each display type can be used to locate intermittent signals or to
view signal levels and frequencies over time.
Spectrogram is a single horizontal line of color-coded power while Waterfall
uses a 3-D color-coded display. The functional difference between these two
displays is that Spectrogram provides less trace detail than Waterfall display.
However, it also allows more traces to be viewed.
These two displays can NOT be used with Channel Measurements.
In SA mode, Traces can be recorded from, or played back into, any
measurement type (such as Channel Power or Occupied BW) or any display
type (such as Spectrogram and Waterfall). See
page 278

Spectrogram Display (SA Option)

Spectrogram draws the most recent trace record at the bottom of the stack of
previously-drawn trace records. Drawing the live trace on the display is
optional.
