Hello,
   given a series of data points in the time domain, eg. a bunch of samples
from an A/D converter (like the new 12/16-bitter sigma-delta ADC from Moto),
I can understand what an FFT will show me and sort of understand what a
power spectrum calculation will show, but what would a "waterfall display"
show?  what is its advantage?
