oscilloscope. To view command and feedback simultaneously, add a Y axis to the display. To separate the
signals, adjust minimum and maximum values for both axes.
1. Click Test-Run Display.
2. In the Toolbox panel, note the various monitor displays available.
3. From the Signal list, drag the Signal Scope icon to the Designer area. Position the display graph as desired.
4. Observe the Error icons on the Signal Scope, in the Properties panel, and in the Error list at the bottom
of the screen (you may need to expand the panel). The errors direct you to define a parameter for the Y
axis of the Signal Scope.
