11.5 ADJUSTING THE PANADAPTER AND WATERFALL CONTROLS
Display menu button on the Panadapter menu will expose the display controls. A
horizontal line separates Panadapter controls (top) from Waterfall controls (bottom).
The FPS slider controls the rate that the Frequency Spectrum is drawn on the Panadapter, in frames
per second. Lowering the FPS control has several effects:
• It lowers the rate at which both the Panadapter and the Waterfall are updated
• It lowers the network bandwidth of data sent from the radio to SmartSDR, which may be
important in situations of limited network bandwidth, especially when operating via
SmartLink.
• As the rate of update is lowered, the extra data not displayed is averaged and so the variance
of the data is lowered, making both the Panadapter and the Waterfall smoother while
maintaining accuracy
If you prefer a faster updating display, but a more averaged or smoother one, adjust the FPS setting
for the update speed you prefer and then raise the AVG (averaging) control. The AVG control
increases the number of frames that are averaged, lowering the variance and smoothing the display.
The Fill control adjusts the amount of shading that is applied to the portion of the spectrum display
below the signal line. The fill color can be chosen from the drop-down menu to the right of the Fill
control.
