Figure \ref{fig:Amodulation} shows the SAX words generated by modulating the size of the SAX alphabet, \(A\). Three scenarios are presented in which \(A\) is chosen as 2, 3, and 4 letters. Increasing the number of letters increases the granularity of capturing the magnitude and thus the number of patterns detected. This process created 8, 23, and 39 patterns respectively.

For both the \(W\)=2 and \(A\)=2 scenarios, the number of patterns is relatively low at 7 and 8 SAX words created. This low number creates a more simplified situation that may be less overwhelming for an analyst to interpret, however the downside is the low level of detail. The finer granularity scenarios of \(W\)=8 and \(A\)=4 create the most detailed and highest number of patterns, which may be overwhelming in a manual analysis situation.
