You can change the parameters of an individual display in regard to:
o Graph Title
You can enter (or edit) a title for the display and select to show the title on the display via a
checkbox. The title color can be changed.
o Scale factor (Auto-scale or Manual Scale)
When Manual Scale is used the values entered for minimum and maximum apply. These are the
minimum and maximum Y-axis values. The units are the displayed channels’ engineering units.
o Limits
These limits are for display purpose only. They have no relation to acquisition
limits which are used as triggers.
You can set an upper and/or lower limit for display and change the color of these display limits.
If you select to use a limit [by checking the associated box] then traces that exceed the limit value
will become noticeably thicker.
You can display the upper and lower limit lines, regardless of whether or not you decide to use the
trace-thickening feature, and visa versa.
o Data Processing
A Data Processing Panel with a single tab labeled “General” is located at the lower section of
the dialog box. The panel allows you to select the Axis Scale Type (linear or log) and also allows
you to select Scans per block. This last setting designates how many data points will be
displayed in a single viewing instance. For example, if “20” was entered, you would see 20 data
points on the screen; and each time you used the scroll bar you would see 20 points of data
displayed.
