Plotting Measurements Over Time (TrendPlot™)

Use the TrendPlot function to plot a graph of Scope or Meter measurements as function of time.

Note

Because the navigations for the dual input TrendPlot (Scope) and the single input TrendPlot (Meter) are identical, only TrendPlot (Scope) is explained in the next sections.

Starting a TrendPlot Function

To start plotting a graph of the reading over time, do the following:

1Apply a signal to the red BNC input A and turn on Reading 1 in scope mode

2 Open the RECORDER main menu.

3 Highlight Trend Plot (Scope).

4 Start the TrendPlot recording.

The test tool continuously records the digital readings of the input A measurements and displays these as a graph. The TrendPlot graph rolls from right to left like a paper chart recorder.

Observe that the recorded time from start appears at the bottom of the screen. The present reading appears on top of the screen. (See Figure 17.)

Note

When simultaneously TrendPlotting two readings, the screen area is split into two sections of four divisions each.
