5 - 96 FUNCTION REFERENCE
X-DEFLECTION (X-DEFL, X vs Y)
Description:
X-deflection creates X-Y displays in which one input signal is displayed as
function of another. To obtain X-Y displays in the
analog
mode, the oscilloscope
can be set to X-DEFLection mode. In the
digital
mode a similar function is called
X vs Y mode. In both cases a display of amplitude vs amplitude instead of the
display of amplitude vs time is visible.
In the
analog
mode, X-DEFL uses a signal from one of the input channels for
horizontal direction. Also the line voltage or EXT TRIG channel can be used for
X-deflection. Any of the input channels can be selected for vertical deflection.
In the
digital
mode, X vs Y also uses a signal from one of the input channels.
X vs Y displays can also be displayed from signals previously stored in memory.
In this case the memory register (e.g., m3) must first be selected with the TRACK
control. The horizontal deflection source can then be any of the active trace
registers (e.g., m3.2).
The selections are made in the DISPLAY menu under the X-DEFL or X vs Y menu
softkey. After the function is switched ‘on’, the source selection becomes visible.
In all cases the active X deflection source is displayed at the bottom right of the
screen and the Y deflection source(s) at the bottom left of the screen.
To achieve correct scaling and positioning, use the channel AMPL front panel key
pair, their POS controls and the XPOS control in the analog mode. For the digital
mode, use the VERT MAGNIFY under the DISPLAY menu and the XPOS control.
