Example 6: The Application of the X-Y Operation

View Phase Changes through a Circuit Network
Connect the oscilloscope to monitor the input and output of the circuit and capture
the phase changes.
To view the input and output of the circuit in an X-Y display, do these steps:
1. Set the probe attenuation to 1：10. Set the switch to 10X on the probes.
2. Connect the CH1 probe to the input of the circuit, and connect the CH2 probe to
the output of the circuit.
3. If the channels are not displayed, click
4. Click .
5. Adjust the vertical scale and offset to display approximately the same amplitude
signals on each channel
6. Go to Horizontal window.
7. Select X-Y mode.
The oscilloscope displays a Lissajous pattern representing the input and the
output characteristics of the circuit.
8. Adjust the scale and offset of the horizontal and vertical to a desirable waveform
display.
9. Apply the Ellipse method to observe the phase difference between the two
channels.
