Waterfall Display
The Waterfall Display is a continuous display of transmissions and noise levels. It
shows you a rolling 10-second window of activity. The most current, most recent
observation is at the top and the oldest observation is at the bottom. Because the
Waterfall Display color-codes the strength of signals or noise received and because
observations move downward in time, the display resembles a waterfall, and hence this
feature’s name.
Transmissions appear as lines whose lengths reflect the length of the transmissions.
Signal strengths are shown by the color of the lines. Each color represents a particular
range of signal strength and there are 5 signal ranges and 5 colors. The feature’s
default colors are adequate for most purposes, but the user can customize them.
