8.  Adjust the vertical scale and vertical position knob to achieve the best result of 
waveform. 
9.  Using the elliptic oscilloscope display graph to observe, measure and calculate the 
phase difference. (See the figure below)

If sin θ = A
 or C 
 B D , 
θ is the angle of disparity between the channels. For definitions of A, B, C, D see the 
above figure. Calculating with this formula, the angle of disparity is 
θ = ±arcsin (A
 ) or θ = ±arcsin (C ). 
B D 
If the elliptic main axis is within quadrants I and III, the angle of disparity should be 
within quadrants I and IV, i.e. inside (0~ π
) or (3π ~ 2π).

If the main axis is within quadrants II and IV, the angle of disparity should be within 
quadrants II and III, i.e. inside (π
 ~ π) or (π ~ 3π).

Furthermore, if the frequencies and phase differences of two signals being measured are 
exact multiples, you can calculate the frequency and phase correlation between the two 
signals. 
The signal must be 
in the centre
