Note: When a chart contains overlapping channels which share values (such that their traces reside on top
of each other), the more recent channel will obscure the earlier channel. Note that the lower a
channel is on the display list, the more recent it is in regard to the display.
Adding Channel 2 to Chart 1
Another variation of the Display Configuration Setup box appears when you highlight a channel. In the
following figure, Channel 1 (of Chart 1, Group 1) was selected, resulting in a new screen image. From this
screen you can edit the channel setup.
Adjusting Channel Setup for Channel 1
PostView channels can be set for either of two modes: Units Full Scale or, Units/Div. The mode is selected
by radio button. Mode descriptions are as follows:
Units Full Scale. When Units Full Scale is selected, as depicted in the above figure, you can alter Y Max
and Y Min. These are the upper and lower limits of the channel, as they will appear on the chart when the
channel is selected. When you change either parameter, Y Center and Units/Division are automatically
adjusted. You can not directly adjust Y Center or Units/Division while “Units Full Scale” is selected. You
can change Y Max and Y Min by using the up and down arrows, or by highlighting the existing value,
typing in the new value, the pressing “Enter” on your PC keyboard.
Note: If the window size is changed, a chart operating in the Units Full Scale mode will maintain its
full scale setting across the chart.
