## SYNOPSIS

**qttinysa** **no options available**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **qttinysa** Spectrum Analyzer GUI.

## OPTIONS

The program does not have any command line options.

## FILES

The program does not have any configuration files.

**qttinysa** provides some return codes, that can be used in scripts:
