3.3     Scale

The 1D Fields window offers the following scaling:

• Linear

• Decibel

Linear scale can be set using  button in Scale/Functions tab and Scale->Type->Linear command from main menu or context menu.

Decibel scale can be set using  button in Scale/Functions tab and Scale->Type->Decibel command from main menu or context menu. Basically, values Vlog in the decibel scale are calculated from values Vlin in the linear scale as: Vlog=20 log(Vlin/L), where L=1 in the units of Vlin. The exception are power dissipated components and energy, where we use Vlog=10 log(Vlin/L). Certain quantities cannot be converted to decibel scale.

The  button in Scale/Functions tab and Scale->Set… command from main menu or context menu invoke Scaling dialogue for setting scales parameters.

The  button in Scale/Functions tab and Scale->Grid Values command from main menu or context menu switch on/off values for grid lines.

The  button in Scale/Functions tab and Scale->Format Axes… command from main menu or context menu invoke Format Axes dialogue for setting scales display parameters.
