View menu
The View menu (Figure 10-10) lets you choose
how to display the audio channel(s) being
displayed.
Display options
The Axes control (Figure 10-10) sets the opacity of
the grid displayed in the graph, from 100% (fully
visible) down to 0% (fully hidden). The Show
Ruler option toggles the measurement items (see
“Measurement information” on page 85).
Pausing the display
The Pause button in the upper right corner of the
View section (Figure 10-10) allows you to freeze
the display at any time. To resume, click the button
again. The level meters will remain active while
the display is paused.
Horizontal controls (time axis)
The Horizontal controls (Figure 10-11) configure
the value range of the x-axis (time). Click and drag
the values up or down to set them, or double-click
to return to the default value.
There are two modes for the controls: Zoom/Offset
and Min/Max. To change the mode, use the
Horizontal control menu (Figure 10-11).
Figure 10-11: Horizontal controls.
In Zoom/Offset mode, Zoom sets the display zoom
from 1/1000x to 10x, where the number represents
the number of pixels per sample. For example,
when the horizontal zoom value is 10x, 10 samples
are displayed in 100 pixels; when the horizontal
zoom value is 1/10x, 100 samples are displayed in
10 pixels. Pos moves the line marking time equals
zero left or right.
In Min/Max mode, Min and Max set the earliest
and most recent displayed time.
Time Units
The Time Units sub-menu (Figure 10-11) provides
the option to view the X axis in Seconds or
Samples.
Vertical controls (amplitude axis)
The Ver tical controls (Figure 10-9) operate
similarly to the Horizontal controls, except that
they configure the y-axis (amplitude).
In Zoom/Offset mode, Zoom sets the display zoom
from 1/2 to 100x, and Pos moves the line marking
amplitude equals zero line up or down.
In Min/Max mode, Min and Max set the smallest
and largest displayed amplitude.
Waveform Recognition
The Waveform Recognition option (Figure 10-9)
searches through new audio data looking for a
waveform which most resembles that which was
previously displayed. The region where this takes
place is a small window around the line marking
time equals zero, denoted by the extra vertical
graph lines surrounding it. There are two kinds of
waveform recognition available: Type I and
Type II.
