• The graph displays frequency along the horizontal axis and amplitude on the vertical axis.
To zoom in on a particular area of the graph, right-click on a ruler and drag the magnifying glass icon. (See "Zoom
phase and frequency graphs" on page 95.)
• The musical note of the waveform is displayed in the area above the graph. The numbers indicate the keyboard
position and variance from standard tuning. For example, A2 +7 equals the second-lowest A on a keyboard tuned
7% higher than normal.
• The highest frequency of the entire waveform and the maximum amplitude for each channel is displayed in the
left status area underneath the graph.
• The overall frequency (and equivalent musical note) at the center point of the selected range is displayed in the
right status area underneath the graph.

Up to four frozen frequency outlines may be shown at once. To clear a frozen frequency outline, click its corre-
sponding Hold button again.
