Scale Type

Chooses a linear or logarithmic vertical scale for the display and for remote data readout.
When Scale Type (Log) is selected, the vertical graticule divisions are scaled in logarithmic units. The
top line of the graticule is the Reference Level and uses the scaling per division Scale/Div to assign
values to the other locations on the graticule.
When Scale Type (Lin) is selected, the vertical graticule divisions are linearly scaled with the reference
level value at the top of the display and zero volts at the bottom. Each vertical division of the graticule
represents one-tenth of the Reference Level.
The Y Axis Unit used for each type of display is set by pressing Y Axis Unit. The
NOTE
analyzer remembers separate Y Axis Unit settings for both Log and Lin.

If Normalize is on, Scale Type forced to Log and is grayed out.
Changing the Scale Type always sets the Y Axis unit to the last unit specified
for the current amplitude scale. In other words, we restore the Y Axis unit
setting appropriate per log/lin.
