Captured data can be post processed using X-COM’s Spectro-X software application to enable the user to simultaneously visualize the Operating: –200 to +10,000 feet (–60.96 to +3,048 meters) captured spectrum in the time and frequency domains. Playback speeds of the data file can be changed, paused and restarted on the fly. Non-operating: –200 to +40,000 feet (–60.96 to +12,210 meters) Time markers can be inserted in the captured data based on external events allowing the user to easily focus on time segments of interest. The data ORDERING INFORMATION can be searched for carriers, standard waveforms or user-defined waveforms of interest. The match confidence level and the section of the captured data to be searched are parameters controlled by the user through the graphical user interface, Spectro-X software.
