Viewing a Vector
Vectors can be viewed at any time by pressing the Vector button (see Figures 7-16 through 7-18).
Pressing the Vector button twice shows a vector and a waveform together. Unless you changed it, the
vector color is always yellow so it can be seen easily with a waveform. Note that the vector rose (the
circular graticule for vectors) is simplified when it is displayed with a waveform.
Component signals can also be displayed as vectors. In this case, only the six color boxes are shown
and there is no rose. In addition, phase angle measurements have no meaning in component signals,
and the Vec. Phase knob does not operate.
Component signals can be displayed as waveforms with composite signals, but their two vectors
cannot be displayed simultaneously.
To select a vector color:
1. Press the Config button.
2. Select DISPLAY and then press the Enter button.
3. Select COLOR and then press the Enter button.
4. Select VECTOR COLOR and then press the Enter button.
5. Select any of the three colors and then turn the knob to increase or decrease the color in the vector
trace.
6. Press the Clr Mnu button to exit.
Once selected, the color is applied to all vector traces until you recall a memory that uses a different
color. To save the color you just selected:
1. Press the Config button.
2. Using the arrow buttons, select MEMORIES and then press the Enter button.
3. Using the arrow buttons, select STORE MEMORY.
4. Using the knob, select the desired memory number (1 through 10).
5. Press the Down arrow button to select STORE and then press the Enter button.
6. Press the Clr Mnu button to exit.
