Title
An optional title across the top of the diagram can be used for a brief description of the
diagram contents.
Select System – [Display] > "Diagram" > "Title" to enter the diagram title and "Show
Title" to display or hide it.
4.2.1.2
Traces
A trace is a set of data points displayed together in the diagram. The individual data
points are connected so that each trace forms a continuous line.
The trace can be complemented by the following display elements, plotted with the
same color:
Reference value (for all traces): The reference value is indicated with a triangle at
the right edge of the diagram and a dashed, horizontal line. The value and position
of the triangle can be changed to modify the diagram scale and shift the trace verti-
cally.
Measured quantity (for the active trace): The measured quantity is indicated in the
trace list; see
A trace can be either a data trace, a memory trace, or a mathematical trace; see
"Trace types"
Trace types
The analyzer uses traces to display the current measurement result in a diagram. It is
also capable of storing traces to the memory, recalling stored traces, and defining
mathematical relations between different traces. There are three basic trace types:
Data traces show the current measurement data and are continuously updated as
the measurement goes on. Data traces are dynamic traces.
Memory traces are generated by storing the data trace to the memory. They repre-
sent the state of the data trace at the moment when it was stored. Memory traces
are static traces which can be stored to a file and recalled.
Mathematical traces are calculated according to a mathematical relation between
constants and the data or memory traces of the active recall set. A mathematical
trace that is based on the active data trace is dynamic.
It is possible to generate an unlimited number of memory traces from a data trace and
display them together. Markers and marker functions are available for all trace types.
