QT GUI Sink (all four plots)

QT GUI Sink is the spectrum, waterfall, time and constellation plots in one tabbed widget rather than four blocks, which is the quickest way to look at an unfamiliar signal. Here it watches a noisy tone; the tabs along the top switch views and the whole widget shares one FFT.
