Spectra Chart Settings

Configuring the Y-axis

Configure Y-axis setting

Select the type of Y-Axis for the spectra plot.

  • Linear: Raw spectral amplitudes.
  • Linear Normalised: Independently scale spectra to a maximum amplitude of 1 (default).
  • Linear Normalised (P90): Independently scale amplitudes such that 90% of frequencies are below 1.
  • dB: Spectral amplitudes in decibels.
  • dB Down: Independently scale spectra (in decibels) to a maximum of 0.
  • dB Down (P90): Independently scale spectra (in decibels) such that 90% of frequencies are below 0.

Axes Ranges:

  • Frequency: The range for the frequency axis
  • Phase: The phase range for the phase panel
  • Wavelet TWT: The TWT range for the wavelet panel
  • Wavelet Amp: The amplitude range for the wavelet panel
  • Linear: The Y-Axis range for the Linear axis
  • Linear Norm: The Y-Axis range for the Linear-Normalised axis
  • Linear Norm (P90): The Y-Axis range for the Linear Normalised P-90 axis
  • dB: The Y-Axis range for the dB axis
  • dB Down: The Y-Axis range for the dB-Normalised axis
  • dB Down (P90): The Y-Axis range for the dB-Normalised-P90 axis.

Default Trace Windowing Model:

When using a window model to choose a vertical interval.

  • Taper length: Traces are tapered at the edge of the window by this amount to minimise edge effects
  • Max Moveout First Interface (ms): The "droop" at the maximum offset (or other fourth dimension in the model) at the first defined interface. As the offset increases, the time window shifts downward with the moveout. The shift at the maximum offset at the last interface is hard-coded at 10 ms.

Tip: Define windows and intervals using window models (see Creating a Windowing Model). Window models and their layers are listed in the Window selector at the top of the view.

Time/Depth Conversion Default:

Set the override value for depth to time conversion default sequence in spectra viewer.

Advanced:

  • Smoothing enabled
    • By default, spectra are smoothed across frequencies. Uncheck this box to disable smoothing.
  • Smoothing range
    • The width of the applied smoothing, in Hertz.
  • Unwrap wavelet spectra
    • Unwrap the phase spectra (in the phase plot)

Additional Settings

Right-click in the chart panel and select Configure Track.

Configure track

Track:

  • Title: The chart title
  • Legend: Show the legend (green/amber) and set the position
  • Width: Set the chart width in pixels. Use zero (0) to autofit.
