To
use
the
XY
display mode
The
XY
display mode converts the oscilloscope from a volts versus time
display to a volts versus volts display.
You
can use various transducers
so the display could show strain versus displacement, flow versus
pressure, volts versus current, or voltage versus frequency. This
exercise shows a common use of the
XY
display mode
by
measuring the
phase shift between two signals of the same frequency with the
Lissajous method.
1 Connect a signal to
channel!,
and
a signal
of
the
same
frequency
but
out
of
phase to
channel2.
2 Press I

I , press I
Main/Delayed
I ,
then
press
the
XY
softkey.
3 Center
the
signal on
the
display
with
the
Position knobs,
and
use
the
Volts/Div knobs
and
the
vertical
vernier
softkeys to
expand
the
signal for convenient viewing.
