Sonagram
A second widespread method for FFT display is the real-time sonagram, which displays the amplitude and
frequency values produced by the FFT over time. In the sonagram, the signal amplitude is displayed by
colour, with different colours representing different amplitudes. Sometimes this display is also called
“Spectrogram”.
This amplitude related spectrum analysis mode offers many hints to the distribution of a signal spectrum.
The operation is numerically identical to the real-time waterfall analysis, and is simply a different method
of visualisation.
