Display Settings

This section describes the tools and parameters that control the display settings in the Ansys Sound: Analysis and Specification application.

The Display Parameters panel can be shown or hidden using the View > Current Display and Tool Settings menu option. This panel provides the following controls:

  • - load display parameter settings from an existing template file
  • - save current display parameter settings to a template file
  • Copy Settings - copy the current display settings to the clipboard
  • Paste Settings - apply display settings from the clipboard to the currently-selected window

You can edit these parameters individually in the Display Parameters panel as follows:

  • Xmin - the minimum value for the x-axis display
  • Xmax - the maximum value for the x-axis display
  • Ymin - the minimum value for the y-axis display
  • Ymax - the maximum value for the y-axis display

You can also copy and paste display settings using the View > Display parameters menu option, the context-sensitive menu for a display window, or the Shift+C and Shift+V keyboard shortcuts.

These copy and paste features function as follows:

  • Copy Settings - copy the current display settings to the clipboard.
  • Paste Settings - apply display settings from the clipboard to the currently-selected window. You are required to confirm whether you wish to paste X, Y or All axis settings. Pasting settings between Spectrum windows will also update the Spectrum Type to match the source window, and pasting between Spectrogram windows will update the frequency Weighting and linear/dB Amplitude display settings.
  • Apply current block's settings to all windows - copy the current display settings to the clipboard and apply them to all open display windows that have the appropriate window type (Time-domain, Spectrum or Spectrogram).
Note: Settings can only be pasted into display windows that have the same axis units as the windows from which they were originally copied. X, Y and All paste options (see above) may therefore be unavilable, depending the axis units of the current display.
