(8)  With the elliptical oscillogram method adopted, observe and calculate the phase 
difference (see Figure 8-6).  
Figure 8-6 Lissajous Graph   
Based on the expression sin (q) =A/B or C/D,  thereinto, q  is the phase difference 
angle, and the definitions of A, B, C, and D are shown as the graph above. As a result, 
the phase difference angle can be obtained, namely, q =± arcsin (A/B) or ± arcsin 
(C/D). If the principal axis of the ellipse is in the I and III quadrants, the determined 
phase difference angel should be in the I and IV quadrants, that is, in the range of 
(0 - π  /2)  or  (3π  /  2  -  2π).  If  the  principal  axis  of  the  ellipse  is  in  the  II  and  IV 
quadrants, the determined phase difference angle is in the II and III quadrants, that is, 
within the range of (π / 2 - π) or (π - 3π /2).  
Example 6: Video Signal Trigger   
Observe the video circuit of a television, apply the video trigger and obtain the stable 
video output signal display. 
Video Field Trigger  
For the trigger in the video field, carry out operations according to the following 
steps: 
(1)  Push the Trigger Menu button to display the trigger menu. 
(2)  Select the first menu item in the bottom menu. Select Single in the right menu. 
The signal must be 
centered and kept in the 
horizontal direction.
