View the Spectrogram Plot

After setting up the Spectrogram spectra, press F3 (Display) on the Spectrogram
Display Setup screen.

The Spectrogram plot uses color to indicate the amplitude of the signals. Red
means a higher amplitude and blue means a lower amplitude:

• Use the Up and Down arrows to sequence through the displayed spectra.
• Use the Left and Right arrows to move the cursor on the active spectrum.

Values/Comments

Y-axis

Sets the Y-axis scaling on the spectrogram plot:

Linear - The plot grid centers are linearly spaced in Y between the

centers of the first and last grid.

Log - The plot grid centers are logarithmically spaced in Y between the

centers of the first and last grid.

Linear

Log

Z-axis

Controls the spacing between the collected spectra:

RPM- FFTs spaced depending on the rpm at which they were recorded.
Timestamp- FFTs spaced depending on the time the data was recorded.
Even Spacing- FFTs spaced evenly along the Z-axis.

RPM

Timestamp

Even Spacing

Blanking

Eliminates the display of data below a certain level on the Y-axis. This
setting helps clarify the presence of machine orders or structural
frequencies.
