Waterfall Display
The live trace is always drawn on a Waterfall display. Older trace records scroll
up from the displayed trace and eventually off the screen. Because of this,
locate the live trace on the bottom of the screen using the scale and reference
settings. Learn how in
“Scale and Units” on page 159.
The following settings all contribute to the sweep time of an individual trace,
and therefore, the total elapsed time that can appear on the screen in Waterfall
display:
— Frequency Range. Learn more in
“Frequency Range” on page 151.
— Resolution BW and Video BW. Learn more in
“Resolution Bandwidth (Res
BW)” on page 187
and “Video Bandwidth (Video BW)” on page 188.
— Sweep Time (Acquisition). Learn more in.
“Sweep Acquisition” on page 193
Although this document refers to past traces as ‘records’ these traces are
not saved. They are only drawn on the FieldFox screen. See
“Record
Playback Example (SA Only)” on page 554
for how to save traces.
