Patent ID: 8170543

Claim:
A method for displaying multiple orthogonal code layers on a display device wherein a first axis is indicative of the identity of the code channel of a signal and a second axis is indicative of a measured value of said signal, said method comprising: displaying a bar for each of a plurality of base code channel signals, said bar having a position on said first axis corresponding to the base code index of said base code channel signal and a height with respect to said second axis corresponding to a measured value of said base code channel signal; and displaying a tie line for each group of base code channel signals in an active channel, said tie line laterally intersecting all of said bars of said group intermediately to the ends of said bars of said group at a position characterized by a distance along said second axis; wherein the position of said tie line for each group is chosen such that tie lines in adjacent groups are at different positions with respect to one another.
