Channels command

Previous Next


Allows you to specify the waveform channels for X and Y axis assignment and the number of data points to plot. Note that the data plotting process must be stopped to select this command.


When this command is selected, the Channel Selection dialog box is displayed. You can specify any enabled channels for the X (horizontal) or the Y (vertical) axis. 


The Depth of Plotter (Samples) text box allows you to vary the number of samples plotted at any one time. Valid entries range from 16 to 2048. For example, lets say 64 is entered in the Depth of Plotter (Samples) dialog box. This means that 64 data points will be used to plot the XY waveform on the monitor. When loop mode is enabled, the newest data points simply overwrite the oldest, maintaining 64 data points on the display. When one-shot mode is enabled (automatically enabled when loop mode is disabled), the plotting process will stop when 64 data points have been displayed.


When channels and view depth have been set, close the dialog box by choosing the OK command button.
