DATA HOLD [GRPIX]
This selects how the graph is displayed on the screen. Select from NORMAL,
Min&Max, Min, or Max. This is useful for tracking peak levels over a period of time or
detecting glitches.
With Min & Max selected, the minimum and maximum points for each sample are
shown. If Connect Points is ON (default) (SYSTEM > Graphics > CONNECT), a vertical
bar is drawn between these points. See CLEAR, under CONTROL to restart the
process.
Min displays only the minimum for this sample position until reset by returning to
NORMAL. Max displays only the maximum for this sample position until reset by
returning to NORMAL.
Power vs. Time
This soft key becomes available when the System > Setup > MODE is set to Power vs. Time
mode. Power vs. Time mode displays measurements in a chart-like format showing history
over a period of time. The measurements displayed are taken under the conditions of the
Readout mode, and can therefore include all triggering and correction settings set up in that
mode.
Power vs. Time operation mode includes the following display control:
CHANNEL [GRMD]
Select Channel 1 or Channel 2. The channel selected will be displayed on the left of the
screen, above the middle value of the y axis.
DATA HOLD [GRPIX]
Selects how the graph is displayed on the screen. Select from NORMAL, AVG,
Min&Max, Min, or Max.
TIME [GRDDT]
Sets the data hold time, from 1 minute to 24 hours.
Note
If either Min&Max, Min, or Max is selected, the display will keep the “old” data and
may appear stationary. The DATA HOLD mode in use is displayed on the left of the
screen, below the middle value of the y axis.
