Introduction

The State Chart subsystem provides the commands necessary for programming the HP 16554A/HP 16555A/HP 16555D’s Chart display. The commands allow you to build charts of label activity, using data normally found in the Listing display. The chart’s Y axis is used to show data values for the label of your choice. The X axis can be used in two different ways. In one, the X axis represents states (shown as rows in the State Listing display). In the other, the X axis represents the data values for another label.

When states are plotted along the X axis, X and O markers are available. Because the State Chart display is simply an alternative way of looking at the data in the State Listing, the X and O markers are manipulated through the SLISt subsystem. Because the programming commands do not force the menus to switch, you can position the markers in the SLISt subsystem and see the effects in the State Chart display.

The commands in the SCHart subsystem are:

ACCumulate

CENTer

HAXis

VAXis
