Field or control Description
AutoScale Toggles Autoscale on or off. Turn AutoScale off to set the X and Y-axis range to view an area of
interest.
When AutoScale is off, a small Zoom window appears in the plot. Drag the blue zoom area box
in the small Zoom window to view that area in the main Plot view. Use the Zoom and Pan front-
panel knobs to change the zoom area and horizontal position.
Gridlines Sets which gridlines to show in the plot. Use the grid style best suited to your measurement
needs.
X-Axis Scale
Sets the X axis scale to Linear or Log.
A Log scale is useful when the component magnitudes cover a wide dynamic range, letting you
show both lesser- and greater-magnitude components on the same display.
A Linear scale is useful when the component magnitudes are all close in value, allowing direct
comparison of their magnitudes.
Y-Axis Scale Sets the Y axis scale to Linear or Log.
A Log scale is useful when the component magnitudes cover a wide dynamic range, letting you
show both lesser- and greater-magnitude components on the same display.
A Linear scale is useful when the component magnitudes are all close in value, allowing direct
comparison of their magnitudes.
Dynamic Range Sets the vertical scale dynamic range.
Available when Y-Axis Scale is set to Log.
X-Axis From, To Sets the beginning and end scale range to display in the plot for the X-Axis scales.
These values also define the horizontal area shown in the small Zoom window.
Available when AutoScale is off.
Y-Axis From, To Sets the beginning and end scale range to display in the plot for the Y-Axis scales.
These values also define the vertical area shown in the small Zoom window.
Available when AutoScale is off.
