Page 113: Setting The Display Mode
BASIC OPERATION Setting the Display Mode The GSP-9300B has three different display Description modes for viewing: spectrum, spectrograph and topographic. It is also possible to view the spectrum with the spectrographic or topographic views using a split screen. Default display mode.
Page 114 GSP-9300B User Manual Example: Spectrogram The Spectrogram view shows signals in both the frequency and time domain. The X-axis represents frequency, the Y-axis represents time and the color of each point represents the amplitude at a particular frequency & time (Red = high dark blue = low).
Page 115 BASIC OPERATION Topographic The topographic view shows the frequency of events. The topographic view is useful for observing smaller signals that have been overpowered by stronger signals or to easily observe intermittent events. Color is used to represent the frequency of an event. Red represents a high frequency of occurrence, while blue represents events that occur rarely.
