Viewing the measure waveform on the front panel
You can view the I-V characteristics of the diode on the front panel of the instrument using the built-in
graphing functions.
To view the graph:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Under View, select Graph.
The displayed graph with vary depending on the type of Scaling selected. The best way to get an
overview of all of the data is to set the X-axis scaling method to All.
To change the graph scaling to All:
1. In the graph screen, select the Scale tab at the top of the screen.
2. Under the X-axis Method option, select All.
3. Select the Graph tab at the top of the screen to return to the graph.
Once the scaling is set to All, the graph shown below appears. You can then pinch and zoom on the
relevant portions of the waveform. The following graph shows a zoomed version of the waveform.
