XY Display Mode Operating Hint
When you select the XY display mode, the time base is turned off. Channel 1 is
the X-axis input, channel 2 is the Y-axis input, and the external trigger in the
HP 54645A is the Z-axis input. If you only want to see portions of the Y versus X
display, use the Z-axis input. Z-axis turns on and off the trace (analog
oscilloscopes called this Z-blanking because it turned the beam on and off).
When Z is low (<1.4 V), Y versus X is displayed; when Z is high (>1.4 V), the trace
is turned off.
