The 3D SPECTRUM Graph shows the signal information as a 2D chart over time. If EaKiu is not in 3D SPECTRUM Graph mode, you can place it in that mode by clicking the 3D button in the GRAPH button area, or by typing the g or G key until the 3D button lights. When EaKiu is in 3D SPECTRUM Graph mode, the GRAPH button area will show the 3D button lit green like this:
 The Graph area will show the 3D SPECTRUM Graph and will look like this:
 Once you switch to the 3D SPECTRUM mode the graph will change and the right hand dBm numbers will shrink to a different position. The horizontal axis still represents channel numbers as it did in the 2D Linear Multi-Graph. The vertical axis no longer represents dBm, but now represents Time. Once the over-time buffer has filled with data, the bottom and top of the right side will show the amount of time those samples represent (in seconds). The graph now shows information as colored rectangles. The darker towards blue the color is, the lower the dBm (as indicated by the right hand legend), the more towards red-white the color is, the higher the dBm (more signal strength). USING THE VIEWING-MODE BUTTONS On the left side of the Graph area are four buttons known as the VIEWING MODE BUTTONS, and marked A, C, P, and M. These four buttons work differently for the 2D LINEAR mode than the other 3 modes (3D SPECTRUM, QUAD, and WIRE). For the 3D SPECTRUM mode these four buttons allow you to select which of the four possible views you want to see. All the buttons work as a toggle - selecting one button will turn all the others off, etc. The 'A' Button The A button shows the AVERAGE signal. The amount of the averaging is set in the SETTINGS area in the AVERAGE value. You can change this value by click the left button over the value and mousing left and right, or by typing the { and } keys. The 'C' Button The C button shows the true current signal without any averaging. The 'P' Button Selecting the P button will show the Peak chart. The 'M' Button Selecting the M button will show the Long-Term Maximum chart.
