X-Y Format
This format compares the voltage level of two waveforms point by point. It
is useful for studying phase relationships between two waveforms. This
format only applies to channels 1 and 2. Choosing the X-Y display format
displays channel 1 on the horizontal axis and channel 2 on the vertical
axis.
The oscilloscope uses the untriggered sample acquisition mode and
waveform data is displayed as dots. The sample rate can vary from
4 kSa/s to 100 MSa/s, and the default sample rate is 1 MSa/s.
The following modes or functions are not available in X-Y format:
• Automatic voltage or time measurements.
• Cursor measurements.
• Mask testing.
• Math function waveforms.
• Reference waveforms.
• Delayed sweep time base display.
• Displaying waveforms as vectors.
