GATEDxyz displays XY signals only when the Z (gating) channel is true. Gated
XYZ is similar to analog oscilloscope modulated XYZ mode except that the
displayed XY signal is either on or off; there is no intensity modulation. Gated
XYZ is useful for showing constellation diagrams.
XY displays the voltage of one waveform against the voltage of another. The
sources that make up an XY waveform are predefined and are listed in
Table 2--34. Displaying one source causes its corresponding source to be
displayed.
