The X-Y display is capable of displaying a number of analog signals. Unlike the other display types, it is not possible to zoom or scroll in the X-Y display. The color of the signals is defined in the Channel Setup and is valid throughout the whole software.
Signal Name Area (top):
![]() |
In here all signals are listed that are shown in the display. By using the right mouse button it is possible to add or remove channels from the display. It is also possible to select a group of signals by clicking on them with the left mouse button while holding the CTRL key. Selected signals are highlighted then. The leftmost channel defines the X axis. All other channels will be painted on the Y scale. The display will add up to three additional y scales if channels have custom units enabled. If a channel is selected the corresponding scale will be highlighted. Similarly the X axis will respect the custom unit of the corresponding channel. |
Cursor functions: The cursors need to be activated from the toolbar. If activated in the toolbar one has two measurement cursors. Cursor A is moved by holding the left mouse button while cursor B is moved by holding the right mouse button. The cursors can be used in free mode only. The measuring results are shown in the general Info Window under an own entry showing the display name.
Tool bar: The display is operating using the functions of the toolbar. Details on the different buttons are found following the link to the toolbar.
Data line width: Using the context menu you can change the width of the painted signals to increase visibility.
Cursor line width: Using the context menu you can change the width of the cursors to increase visibility.
Dim background channels: If this option is checked in the context menu and a channel is selected by left-click in the signal name area on top, the other channels will be dimmed a bit to increase visibility and contrast.
