▪ Velocity gradient—Filters the display of vectors based on velocity gradient.
▪ Velocity magnitude—Filters the display of vectors based on velocity magnitude.
Move the sliders to the right or left to control the display of vectors:
▪ Min Gate—Move the slider to the right to filter out vectors that have a low-velocity gradient or magnitude.
▪ Max Gate—Move the slider to the left to filter out vectors that have a high-velocity gradient or magnitude.
