Trace properties

This dialog allows properties of the currently active trace to be altered.

This dialog can be invoked from the edit menu, or by clicking the right mouse button over a trace.

Trace Name

Name used to describe the active trace. Displayed in the Status Box.

Y units

Y units of the active trace. This is a text string which can be edited by the user.

X units

The x units label. This is a text string which can be edited by the user.

Sample Rate

This shows the interval between samples in x units. Normally this should not be altered since it would have been set when the trace was recorded. (Or in the original trace from which this trace has been derived).

See also Data Rate.

Trace length

This shows the number of samples in the active trace.

Axes X scale

The scaling of the x units to screen pixels.

Trace Start Position

Alter this to shift the trace start position. Don't change the start positions of traces in the Monitor window.

Screen Y scale

The scaling of y units to screen pixels. Note that the Doppler spectrum y scale has to result in the trace being displayed as a power of 2 pixels high.

Screen Y offset

The offset used to shift the active trace in the y axis, in screen pixels. This value does not change with y scale changes. Easier to change by clicking the left mouse button on the y axis and dragging. (Set Y Group to -1 to offset just this trace.)

Y scaling factor

The scaling factor used to scale the stored data to the y axis scale.
