desired display palette.
The displ
ay palette lets you enhance the visibility
of events. This choice uses intensity grading to
indicate how often rare transients occur relative
to normal
signals. The choices are Temperature,
Spectral, Normal and Inverted.
Temperature uses color-grading to indicate
frequen
cy of occurrence with hot colors like
red/yellow indicating fr equently occurring events
and colder colors like blue/green indicating
rarely o
ccurring events.
Spectral uses color-grading to indicate
frequency of occurrence with colder colors like
blue in
dicating frequently occurring events and
hot colors like red indicating rarely occurring
events.
Norma
l uses the default channel color (like
yellow for channel one) along with gray-scale
to indicate frequency of occurrence w here
frequ
ently occurring events are bright.
Inverted uses the default channel color
along with gray scale to indicate frequency of
occu
rrence where rarely occurring events are
bright.
These color palettes help highlight the events
that
over time occur more often or, in the case of
infrequent anomalies, occur less often.
