"Classic" Overview Screen
The Overview screen provides a quick reference to the data being received by the HawkEye.
- Speed / sound / speech channel panel
- Bar chart which provides a peak-hold overview of the overall level of any channel which the HawkEye has registered. Any of the channels listed in the peak-hold plot can be selected and ‘dropped’ onto any instrument on any of the available screens, allowing that channel to be viewed in more detail.
- Oscilloscope instrument provides the time history waveform for the selected channel.
- FFT/Spectrum instrument provides a view of the signal in frequency domain (amplitude vs frequency).
- Campbell/Periodogram component displays FFT/Spectrum information with historical data included.
- Order track plot
To change the channel displayed, select it in the bar chart, and drop it on any instrument from the page:
- Select the channel to display, by clicking on it in the bar chart (above, channel 5 is selected).
- Drop it on any instrument on the page; all the instruments will display the channel.
Option “Simple click to select a channel” in the “Overview” tab of the HawkEye preferences allows selecting a channel by simply clicking on it in the bar chart (so step 1 only).
The bar chart can be replaced by the alarm button panel, using right click on the overview button in the navigation bar:
The alarm button panel will be used to select a channel, by clicking on the appropriate channel button.
