Waveform Controls

Waveform Shape Selection

The Waveform Controls define how the input signal is shaped or rendered on the waveform display. This setting applies to all input sources, including Live, File, and Demo modes.

Only one waveform type can be active at a time. Selecting a new shape will automatically deactivate the others.

Available Waveforms

• Sine Wave — A smooth, continuous waveform ideal for modeling subtle and natural plant activity. Useful for establishing baselines or viewing gentle bioelectric changes.
• Square Wave — Alternates sharply between high and low levels. Best suited for identifying distinct signal thresholds or edge transitions.
• Triangle Wave — A symmetrical rising and falling pattern. Good for viewing steady-state activity with consistent amplitude ramping.
• Sawtooth Wave — A gradual rise followed by a sudden drop. Often used to examine signal decay or to simulate unbalanced responses.
• Cymatic Pattern — A visually rich signal representation based on physical vibration geometry. This mode is often used for display aesthetics, demonstrations, or engaging presentations.

Usage Notes

This setting determines how the signal is shaped during playback or live display. It does not alter the original signal data but controls the interpretive overlay or visualization style applied in the UI.

Regardless of source — live, playback, or demo — the waveform shape helps users better interpret plant behavior, especially when identifying rhythmic or stress-related activity.
