Behavior
YT format is the conventional oscilloscope format:
Amplitude appears on the vertical axis as the signal varies over time on the horizontal axis.
When you set the vertical position to center the display in YT format, the XY d isplay is at center
screen, and each division of display in Y T mode produces a division of display in XY mode.
XY format plots the amplitude of one waveform against the amplitude of another waveform on a
point-by-point basis:
This format is useful for showing the relationship between two signals, such as current and voltage
waveforms that combine to form an I-V characteristic.
When using this format, waveforms appear according to their channel pairings (see page 171).XY
format is a dot-only display, although it can have persistence.
The Vector style selection has no affect when you using XY format.
When using this format, the horizontal scale continues to control the time base and the horizontal
position continues to control the portion of the waveform that is shown.
Vectors and Intensified Samples (see page 809) selections are not available when using the XY
Display Format.
