5-34  Display Setup Commands 

SR780 Network Signal Analyzer 

 YDIV (?) d {, x} 

The YDIV command sets (queries) the Y/Division scale of display d. The 
parameter x is a real number in the display units. This command is valid for all 
Views. 

Changing the scale of a display may change the Y Max and Y Mid values. 
Always use a YMAX, YMID or YMIN command after the YDIV command. 

 XCEN (?) d {, x} 

The XCEN command sets (queries) the X Center of display d. The parameter x is 
a real number in the display units. This command is only valid when the View is 
Nichols or Nyquist. 

 XDIV (?) d {, x} 

The XDIV command sets (queries) the polar X/Division scale of display d. The 
parameter x is a real number in the display units. This command is only valid 
when the View is Nichols or Nyquist. 

Changing the scale of a display may change the X Center value. Always use the 
XCEN command after the XDIV command. 

 YCEN (?) d {, x} 

The YCEN command sets (queries) the Y Center of display d. The parameter x is 
a real number in the display units. This command is only valid when the View is 
Nichols or Nyquist. 

 Y2DV (?) d {, x} 

The Y2DV command sets (queries) the polar Y/Division scale of display d. The 
parameter x is a real number in the display units. This command is only valid 
when the View is Nichols or Nyquist. 

Changing the scale of a display may change the Y Center value. Always use the 
YCEN command after the Y2DV command. 

 XPAN (?) d {, i} 

The XPAN command sets (queries) the Pan (translation) of display d. The 
parameter i is the left most displayed bin. This command is only valid when the 
display is Zoomed (expanded). 

 XZOM (?) d {, i} 

The XZOM command sets (queries) the Zoom factor (X axis expand) of display 
d. The parameter i is the zoom factor (1-5). This command is not valid when the 
X axis is logarithmic or when the View is Nyquist or Nichols.
