TrendPlotting a Waveform

The TrendPlot™ function plots the digital readings as a function of time. Date and time stamp shows the time of the most recent change in a MIN or MAX reading.

Starting a TrendPlot™ function

						Open the INPUT A menu.
						Open the INPUT A menu.

 Start TRENDPLOT.

The test tool records the minimum (MIN) reading as the main (upper displayed) measurement of input A. The date and time stamp appear below the MIN reading. (See Figure 1-13.)

The test tool also continuously logs all readings to memory and displays these as graphs. Automatic vertical scaling and horizontal time compression resizes the TrendPlot to fit on the screen. The TrendPlot is built up on the screen from left to right until the screen is full. The automatic time scaling then compresses this information to about half the screen.

Note

When a new minimum value is detected , a beep occurs and the new minimum is displayed.
