35.3.4 Panadapter Display Menu
Tapping the Display menu button on the left side of the Panadapter will expose the display control
panel.
Each Panadapter has its own controls. When one Panadapter is active, the upper half of the control
panel is populated with controls, the lower half is blank. The controls are superimposed on the
Panadapter they are associated with.
The FPS slider controls the rate at which the Frequency Spectrum is presented on the Panadapter,
in frame per second Lowering the FPS control has several effects:
ï‚· It reduces the rate at which both the Panadapter and the Waterfall are updated.
ï‚· It reduces the network bandwidth required for data sent from the radio to the client, which
may be important in situations in which limited bandwidth is available.
ï‚· As the framerate is reduced, the extra data not displayed is averaged and so the variance of
the data is lowered, making both the Panadapter and the Waterfall smoother
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 weighted average control, Weight, emphasizes signals that are increasing in amplitude over
those that are declining. This tends to continue to show locations where signals have been and
show a more precise view of their full amplitude when they first appear.
