Phase Vs Time Display

The Phase vs. Time display plots the signal phase against time. The phase appears on the vertical axis
while time is plotted along the horizontal axis.
Note that the trace(s) in the Phase vs. Time display can be set to a maximum of 100,000 points (however,
the actual number of trace points can extend up to 1,000,000 points if Max trace points is set to Never
Decimate). If the Analysis Length includes more than the selected Max trace points value, the trace is
decimated (using the method specified with the Detection control) to be equal to or less than the Max trace
points setting (except when Max trace points is set to Never Decimate). This decimated (or undecimated)
trace is what is used for marker measurements and for results export. You can set the Max trace points
on the Settings > Prefs tab.
To display Phase vs. Time:
1. Press the Displays button or select Setup > Displays.
2. In the Select Displays dialog, select General Signal Viewing in the Folders box.
3. In the Available displays box, double-click the Phase vs. Time icon or select the icon and click
Add. The Phase vs. Time icon will appear in the Selected displays box and will no longer appear
under Available displays.
4. Click OK to show the Phase vs. Time display.
