Viewing waveforms in X-Y format
Overview The X‐Y format plots the CH1 input as X‐axis and
CH2 input as Y‐axis. This display mode is
convenient for viewing the phase relationship
between CH1 and CH2.
Panel operations 1. Make sure that both CH1 and CH2 waveforms
appear in the display.
2. Press the MENU key and
select the DISP SET menu
using the Up/Down keys.
MENU DISP SET
3. Press F3 (Format) and select
XY. The display mode
switches into the X‐Y format.

Viewing signal peaks
Overview Using the peak detect acquisition mode, the
maximum and minimum data in the sampling
interval are displayed, capturing the rapid
changes and sudden peaks that might
spontaneously occur in a waveform.
Note Since the peak detect mode picks up the most
extreme data, the waveform becomes noisier than
the normal acquisition mode (sampling mode).
Panel operations 1. Press the MENU key and use the Up/Down
keys to select ACQU MODE menu.
2. Press F2 (Peak Detect) to activate the peak
detect mode.
