• Scaling Type:
    The data Samples are rescaled by: 
    color_scale = (end_color-start_color+1)/2.0
start_color = 38
end_color   = 253
raster[*] = offset + scale * color_scale * Sample[*]
    then clipped to the color scale range and converted to single bytes before sending the data back to XSD. The "Scalar", "Offset", "Range Min" and "Range Max" are used to define this scaling, depending on the type of scaling selected. Only the parameters that are used for any selected type is enabled.
    • Fixed Scaling: 
      scale = Scalar*color_scale
offset= start_color + color_scale * (1+Offset/50)
    • Maximum Scaling: 
      scale = Scalar*color_scale/max(abs(Samples[*]))
offset= start_color + color_scale * (1+Offset/50)
    • Range Scaling: 
      scale = 2*color_scale/(Range Max-Range Min)
offset= start_color - scale*Range Min
    • Rng Historgram Scaling: 
      max = Scalar percentile fraction of amplitude range
min = (1-Scalar) percentile fraction of amplitude range
scale = Scalar*2*color_scale/(max-min)
offset= start_color - scale*min
    • Abs Histogram Scaling: 
      max = Scalar percentile fraction of absolute amplitude range
scale = color_scale/max
offset= start_color + color_scale*(1+Offset/50)
    • MinMax Scaling: 
      min = min(Samples[*])
max = max(Samples[*])
scale = Scalar*2*color_scale/(max-min)
offset= start_color + color_scale - Scalar*(max+min)/2

  • Exponential Scaling:
    By selecting a non-zero value for "Scale Exponent", exponential scaling will be applied on the axis specified by "Exp Axis:". For example if exponential is done on the first axis, then the Samples are scaled by: 
    Samples[i] = Samples[i] * (i-1)**Scale Exponent
  • Plot Options:
    • Select the parameters used for a currently displayed window by selecting the Window Id # from the "Use Parameters from:" option list.
    • Select the colormap used for a currently displayed window by selecting the Window Id # from the "Use the Colors from:" option list.
    • Set the "Plot Axes" toggle to plot the Axis annotation
    • set the "Invert Data Samples" to plot the data inverted
    • Zoom in on the data by selecting the axis zoom factors ("Horizontal Zoom" and "Vertical Zoom") for each desired horizontal or vertical direction.
  • Retrieval Options:
    • Set the "Retrieve Trace Headers" toggle if you want the trace headers passed to xsd from the ddsServer.
    • Set the "Generate Multiple Windows" toggle to generate multiple windows at once. A window will be displayed for each selected value for the axis defined by the "Multiple Axis:" selection. If "Hide Multiple Windows" is selected, then the windows will come up as "Hidden" windows (windows can be exposed either thru the Window→Expose or Window→Global menu selection). If "Create Animation Window" is selected, then the windows will also be put into an "Animation Window".
