Press the Acquire button on the front panel; then press the XY soft key to set the XY(On)
or YT(Off) mode. The default setup is YT.
YT
It is the normal viewing mode for the oscilloscope. In the Normal time mode, signal events
occurring before the trigger are plotted to the left of the trigger point and signal events
after the trigger plotted to the right of the trigger point.
XY
XY mode changes the display from a volt- versus- time display to a volt- versus- volt
display. Channel 1 amplitude is plotted on the X- axis and Channel 2 amplitude is plotted
on the Y- axis, the two channels will be turned on or off together.
You can use XY mode to compare frequency and phase relationships between two
signals. XY mode can also be used with transducers to display strain versus displacement,
flow versus pressure, volts versus current, or voltage versus frequency.
The phase deviation between two signals with the same frequency can be easily
measured via Lissajous method. The figure below shows the measurement schematic
diagram of the phase deviation
According to sinθ=A/B or C/D (wherein, θ is the phase deviation angle between the two
channels and the definitions of A, B, C and D are as shown in the figure above), the phase
deviation angle is obtained, that is: θ=±arcsin (A/B) or ±arcsin (C/D)
If the principal axis of the ellipse is within quadrant I and III, the phase deviation angle
