Display setups Select the display format
XYZ format compares the voltage levels of the X and Y channel w aveform records point-by-point, as in
XY format. The displayed waveform intensity is modulated by the Z channel waveform record. Refer to
the table belo
w for channel a ssignments.

A -5.0 divis
ion signal, including position and offset, on the Z channel produces a blank screen; a
+5.0 division signal produces full intensity.
NOTE. Selecting YT or XY only affects the display. The Horizontal, Vertical, and Position knobs (and
menus) control the same parameters except in the Fast. Acquisition XY format where the horizontal
scale setting is not used.
TIP. Use the Display menu Display Format submenu to directly access the format types.

XY format pairs
When
you use the XY display format, channel and reference waveforms are assigned to the a xis
indicated in the following table.
XY Pair X Axis Y Axis
Ch 1 and Ch 2 Ch 1 Ch 2
Ch 3 and Ch 4 Ch 3 Ch 4

Ref 3 and Ref 4 Ref 3 Ref 4

If you only display one source when you enter the XY format, the instrument automatically turns o n
the other source waveform to complete the XY pair.
NOTE. You cannot display math waveforms in XY format. You cannot display logic waveforms
in XY or XYZ format.
