The analyzer creates a slice by sampling the Y-axis value of each trace in the waterfall
buffer at the same X-axis position. The number of points in the slice is equal to the
number of traces in the buffer. When the slice is displayed, its X-axis unit matches the
Z-axis unit of the waterfall. See the previous task if you want to know what happens
when you press [
SAVE AND DISP DATA
].
The X-axis readout indicates which
waterfall trace provided the displayed
Y-axis readout.
