Dialog boxes
5.8
XY scope configuration
5.8.1
XY Options
60
From the Settings menu, select Options....
This dialog box sets a number of optional features for the active XY oscilloscope window
that are not controlled by the XY oscilloscope toolbar.
Title
This sets the title that will appear on the active window's title bar and on printed reports.
Accumulate successive cycles
If you set PicoScope to trigger in Repeat or Auto modes, it is easy to miss unusual events.
If you check this option, PicoScope draws each new trace without erasing the previous
trace. This helps you to see variations between traces, or the occasional unusual trace.
Display grid
The computer normally displays a 10x10 grid on the oscilloscope window. You can turn
this off if it obscures important information.
Display axis scaling
The computer normally displays the voltage along the X and Y axes. You can turn this off
if you would like to use all of the window for the trace itself.
The voltage scales are not displayed if the window is too small.
5.8.2
XY Timebase
From the Settings menu, select Timebase....
This dialog box controls the timebase for the active XY scope window.
Time per scan
The time per scan field sets the time interval between refreshes of the XY display. You
should select a timebase slightly longer than the cycle time of your signal. This function is
duplicated on the oscilloscope toolbar.
