You can jump to the exact location in the waveform for certain values by clicking on the appropriate arrow button to the
right of that value.
General Tab
Minimum Sample Value
[->] button to place the playbar cursor at that location. The Waveform Statistics dialog is automatically closed.
Maximum Sample Value
[->] button to place the playbar cursor at that location. The Waveform Statistics dialog is automatically closed.
The waveform's peak amplitude is shown here. Peak amplitude is the absolute maximum sample value
Peak Amplitude
given in decibel form. Press the [->] button to have the playbar cursor jump to the peak amplitude in the waveform. The
Waveform Statistics dialog is automatically closed.
Possibly Clipped Samples
32767 for 16-bit waveforms, for example). Press the [->] button to have the playbar cursor jump to the first clipped
sample. The Waveform Statistics dialog is automatically closed.
The measure of the DC ("Direct Current" or center of the waveform) is shown here, measured in percent.
DC Offset
Positive values are above the center line (zero volts) and negative values are below.
This field shows the minimum sample values in the waveform or highlighted range. Press the
