Ellipse method to observe the phase difference
Sin = A/B or C/D, where = phase shift (in degrees) between the two signals.
From the formula above, you could get:
= arcsine (A/B) or arcsine (C/D)
If the main axis of the ellipse is at I and III quadrant, must be in the range of (0~π/2)
or (3π/2~2π). If the main axis is at II and IV quadrant, must be in the range of
(π/2~π) or (π~3π/2).
