Data Display
NOTE About Display Mode
The Data Display window provides two display mode Overwrite and Append.
In Overwrite mode, the “Display Data (page 4-15)” function opens a new Data
Display window and displays data.
In Append mode, the “Display Data (page 4-15)” function creates a new display
layer on the present Data Display window and displays data.
NOTE Updating Data Calculation
When the classic test result is displayed, you can update the calculation results of the
user function, analysis function, and auto analysis function. So use the Apply
button. See “Function Setup (page 5-42)”.
NOTE Append Measurement
After the Append measurement, you will see tabs between the tool bar and the graph
plot area. The tabs are used to select the display layer for data display and analysis
operation. The Data Display window can have maximum 10 display layers.
NOTE Multi Display Function
In the Multi Display OFF status, the test result data will be always displayed on the
singular Data Display window even if the test setup is changed.
In the Multi Display ON status, the test result data of the same test setup name will
be displ
ayed on the exclusive Data Display window and the test result data of the
different test setup name will be displayed on the new Data Display window.
NOTE The settings on the Display Setup are applied to the X-Y Graph on the Data Display
window. The X-Y Graph can handle one X data on the X axis and up to eight Y data
on the Y axis.
Define the X axis carefully when plotting Multi Channel I/V Sweep measurement
results that may contain data measured by multiple VAR1 channels, as the result
may contain multiple X data that can be selected for the X axis.
The Display Setup must be set properly to match the X axis data and the X data of
the plot to be displayed.
