The Gaussian, Pulse, and Triplet Windows

The Gaussian, Pulse, and Triplet Windows

SETI@home clients version 2.0 or higher provide more detailed information on the signals found, thus allowing a graphical representation of the data. Three different kind of signals can be shown:

Gaussians Experimental data is drawn in red, whereas fit results are depicted in white (available since version 2.0 of the SETI@home client).

Pulses Pulse graphs are drawn in the standard way the GUI SETI@home clients draw them. To illustrate the periodicity of the pulses, the pulse profile is displayed twice (available since version 3.0 of the SETI@home client).

Triplets Again, triplet graphs look very similar to that of the GUI SETI@home clients. Three little green markers show the position of the triplet (available since version 3.0 of the SETI@home client).

The appearance of the graphs can be customized via a right-click popup menu. You have the following options:

Bar Chart

This is the way the GUI SETI@home clients draw the experimental data (not available for pulses and triplets).

Scatter Chart

An alternative way to display the experimental data. Data is depicted by markers and connecting lines (not available for pulses and triplets).

Style

Here you can customize the scatter chart. You can decide whether to draw markers, connecting lines, or both (not available for pulses and triplets).

Show Info

Prints the name of the work unit and the numerical parameters in the window.

Text Position

The info text might interfer with the curves. Select here the preferred position, top-left or top-right.

Save Gaussian...

Saves the current Gaussian graph to disk. Only the PNG file format is supported.
