STATUSBAR contains status information for the system and reception conditions.
In addition to the status data, STATUSBAR may display also some informative messages related to the settings/functions activated. These messages appear at the center area.
STATUSBAR is always visible when JAGUAR is active.
CPU %: The current total (estimated) CPU load.
DISK USED %: The usage of the currently-active hard disk.
LIVESCAN/FILESCAN status (IDLE / .... / the currently processed frequency). See LIVESCAN/FILESCAN.
SPAN: The current spectrum area width. See ZOOM.
ANTENNA used in the currently-played file (as defined in REC SET when recording).
CALIBRATION frequency and status. If there's a sharp line exactly at the center, calibration is OK. See KALIBRATE.
PEAK: The strongest frequency in the currently-played file.
MAX JIX value for the current "DX day" (2000-2000 UTC), based on the current frequency stepping (MW9 or MW10).
JIX: The current J-INDEX value, based on the current frequency stepping (MW9 or MW10), more information in the JIX help.
NIX value (the current NOISE INDEX value), more information below.
QSA, The signal strength (S-value of SINPO) with two decimals.
Noise Index (NIX) presents the noise level of your setup scaled between 1-100. If you have the Perseus hardware connected without an antenna, the NIX value should be 1 (=the Perseus hardware noise floor).
NIX = the average spectrum energy on frequencies between the MW9 and MW10 channels scaled to 1-100. Frequencies selected to NIX consist of 80 "free" MW frequencies which exist +/- 3kHz away from any MW9/MW10 channel: 535, 536, 544, 545, 616, 625, 626, 634, etc. The result can be compared to JIX (and the "true JIX" value should actually be "JIX-NIX", especially if you want to compare setups).
Generally NIX is not the same as "noise floor" (it just measures the full MW noise level in your setup = a tool for checking how "healthy" your setup is).
