The Inverted palette uses the default channel color along with gray-
scale to indicate frequency of occurrence where rarely occurring events
are bright.
These color palettes quickly highlight the events that over time occur more
often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies, occur less often.
Infinite or variable persistence choices determine how long waveforms stay
on the display, helping you to determine how often an anomaly is occurring.
