Xy Traces - Tektronix 11801C User Manual

11801C User Manual
Most traces show a signal voltage (the vertical axis) as it varies over time
(the horizontal axis). You can display a trace that shows how two traces
compare with each other, independent of time. Such an XY trace shows the
signal voltage of one trace on one axis against the signal voltage of the
other trace on the other axis. See Figure 3 114.
You can have only one XY trace. You cannot take measurements of
XY traces. This XY trace is a constellation diagram. Constellation
diagrams are discussed on page 3 25.
When an XY trace is displayed, the axis units cannot be changed from volts
on either axis.
