Description:
To select a coordinate system that displays linear magnitude data along the Y-axis, send CALC:FORM
MLIN.
To display linear magnitude data on a logarithmic Y-axis scale, send CALC:FORM
MLIN;:DISP:TRAC:Y:SPAC LOG.
To select a coordinate system that displays logarithmic magnitude data on a linear Y-axis scale, send
CALC:FORM MLOG.
To select a coordinate system that displays wrapped phase along the Y-axis, send CALC:FORM PHAS.
Phase wraps at the display boundaries. If you change the display boundaries with the
DISP:WIND:TRAC:Y:TOP and DISP:WIND:TRAC:Y:BOTTOM commands, you change where phase
wraps on the display.
To select a coordinate system that displays imaginary numbers along the Y-axis, send CALC:FORM
IMAG. This coordinate system shows the imaginary component of complex data at each point along the
X-axis. If the data point is real rather than complex, a value of 0 is displayed for all X-axis points.
To select a coordinate system that displays real numbers along the Y-axis, send CALC:FORM REAL.
This coordinate system shows real data or the real component of complex data at each point along the
X-axis. This and the polar diagram (CALC:FORM POLar) are the only valid selection for orbit displays
(CALC:FEED ‘XVOL:VOLT 1,2’). CALC:FORM REAL is the default selection for orbit displays.
