The Read address field is the starting address of the data to plot. Each channel has its own Read address. Normally,

the X and Y data are read from two consecutive addresses beginning with the Read address. To have the XY Plot use

separate addresses for X and Y data, check the Separated address for X and Y data checkbox. Separating the X and Y

data addresses also allows the X and Y data to have different formats. The first Read address field defines the X-axis

data and the second Read address field define the Y-axis data.

The X-axis and Y-axis scaling is configured in the Limits section on the General tab. The Low and High limits define the

left-to-right range and the bottom-to-top range for the X-axis and Y-axis respectively.

If Dynamic limits is checked, the limits are read from registers determined by the Read address as follows:
