8. To display the amplitude from one waveform
against the amplitude from another, push XY
Displa
y. Then push Triggered XY from the
side menu.
A data point from the first waveform
specifi
es the horizontal location while the
corresponding data point from the second
waveform specifies the vertical location for
each d
isplayed point.
You can optionally view both the YT and XY
displays simultaneously on the same screen.
Quick Tips
Variable persistence accumula tes record points for a s pecified time interval. Each record point decays independently
according to the time interval. U se variable persistence for displaying infrequently appearing signal anomalies, such
as glitches.
Infinite persistence continuously accumulates record points until you change one of the acquisition display settings. Use
infinite persistence for displaying unique signal anomalies, such as glitches.
The XY D isplay mode graphs the data in fixed pairs of waveforms against one another.
