Figure 10-34: View controls

View menu

The View menu (Figure 10-34) lets you choose how
you wish to display the audio channel(s) being
displayed.

Display options

The

Axes

control (Figure 10-34) sets the opacity of

the grid displayed in the graph, from 100% (fully
visible) down to 0% (fully hidden). The

Show Ruler

option toggles the measurement items (see
“Measurement information” on page 91).

Pausing the display

The Pause button in the upper right corner of the
View section (Figure 10-34) allows you to freeze
the display at any time. To resume, click the button
again. The level meters will remain active while the
display is paused.

Horizontal controls (time axis)

The

Horizontal

controls (Figure 10-35) configure

the value range of the x-axis (time). Click and drag
the values up or down to set them, or double-click
to return to the default value.

There are two modes for the controls:

Zoom/Offset

and

Min/Max

. To change the mode, use the Horizontal

control menu (Figure 10-35).

Figure 10-35: Horizontal control menu

In

Zoom/Offset

mode,

Zoom

sets the display zoom

from
1/1000x to 10x, where the number represents the
number of pixels per sample. For example, when
the horizontal zoom value is 10x, 10 samples are
displayed in 100 pixels; when the horizontal zoom
value is 1/10x, 100 samples are displayed in 10
pixels.

Offset

moves the line marking time equals

zero left or right.

In

Min/Max

mode,

Min

and

Max

set the earliest

and most recent displayed time.

Time Units

The

Time Units

sub-menu (Figure 10-35) provides

the option to view the X axis in Seconds or
Samples.

Vertical controls (amplitude axis)

The

Vertical

controls (Figure 10-35) operate

similarly to the Horizontal controls, except that
they configure the y-axis (amplitude).

In

Zoom/Offset

mode,

Zoom

sets the display zoom

from
1/2 to 100x, and

Offset

moves the line marking

amplitude equals zero line up or down.
