and u(nMin) as shown below.
2. Press y [FORMAT] Í to set Time axes format.
3. Press p and set the variables as shown below.
nMin=1 Xmin=0 Ymin=L10
nMax=25 Xmax=25 Ymax=10

8. Press r, and then press ~ to draw the web. The
displayed cursor coordinates
n, X (u(nN1)), and
Y (u(n)) change accordingly. When you press ~, a new n
value is displayed, and the trace cursor is on the sequence.
When you press ~ again, the
n value remains the same, and
the cursor moves to the
y=x reference line. This pattern repeats
as you trace the web.
