Compare...
Figure 3-13 shows an example of the output of standard and hysteresis comparison
operations. The rectangular wave is the reference waveform, and the triangular
wave is the source waveform.
Figure 3-13: Waveform compare operation example
Compare Dialog Box. The Compare dialog box lets you set the target and source
waveform and hysteresis values. Table 3-14 describes the Compare dialog box
parameters.
XY View... Displays the XY view of two waveforms. The XY
view dialog box is an information display and
does not alter the waveform data. Waveform XY
view. Refer to page 3-80 for information on the
XY View dialog box.

Parameters Descriptions
Target Specifies the location where you want to display the result of operation.
Options are Data, Marker 1 and Marker 2.
With Specifies the reference waveform.
Hysteresis Specifies the amount of hysteresis. The value may be -1 to 1 in 0.0001
increments.
