Example 6: The application of the X-Y operation
Viewing Phase Changes through a Network
Connect the oscilloscope to monitor the input and output of the circuit and capture
the phase changes through the circuit.
To view the input and output of the circuit in an x-y display, do these steps:
1. Set the probe menu attenuation to 10X. Set the switch to 10X on the probes.
2. Connect the channel 1 probe to the input of the network, and connect the
channel 2 probe to the output.
3. If the channels are not displayed, press the CH1
and CH2 buttons.
4. Press the AUTO button
5. Adjust the vertical SCALE
knob to display approximately the same amplitude
signals on each channel
6. Press the MENU in horizontal control area to display the menu
7. Press the Time Base soft button to select
X-Y
The oscilloscope displays a Lissajous pattern representing the input and output
characteristics of the circuit
8. Adjust the vertical SCALE and POSITION
knobs to display a desirable waveform.
9. Apply the Ellipse method to observe the phase difference between the two
channels.
