Abstract
A test and measurement instrument includes a spectrogram generator for producing a first spectrogram image from an input signal, a display for showing the spectrogram image, and a user interface operating in conjunction with the display, the user interface including one or more user controllable inputs and the user interface configured to detect a user action, where the spectrogram generator is structured to produce a second spectrogram image, different from the first spectrogram image, based on the detected user action by the user interface. Methods of automatically generating spectrograms based on user actions are also described.
