YScale and YOffset Fields

YScale sets Y-axis scaling of data selected in the Trace field. You may enter YScale values in one of two ways:

• Manual entry in the YScale field (click with cursor and enter value).
• Use of YScale slider bar.

IMPORTANT! Displayed Y-axis units apply only to data selected in the Trace field! As different data is selected using the Trace pull-down menu, Y-axis values change. Verify that the correct data is selected in Trace field before reading units.

 

YOffset is used to offset displayed Trace plots vertically. This can be especially useful when trying to separate one data plot from another (e.g., "Ax 0 Com Pos" versus "Ax 0 Act Pos").

You may enter YOffset values in one two ways:

• Manual entry in the YOffset field (click with cursor and enter value).
• Use of YOffset slider bar.

 

To realign offset data plots, use AutoScale and (if applicable) zoom Full Out.
