Phase Display Options

The phase display options dialog box can be activated by selecting the Options | Plot Options menu and clicking the Phase tab or by clicking on the options dialog icon button in the view toolbar.

Plot Top/Range:  The Plot Top and Range values determine the phase axis scale values.  Plot Top is the value at the upper edge of the plot.  The lower edge of the plot is always equal to the Top value minus the Range value. 

Colors:  The color of each plot feature can be changed.  Only solid colors can be selected.  The "Default" button will restore the initial colors settings.  

Pull Cursor to Trace:  If this option is enabled, the measurement cursor will automatically "pull" to the trace along the phase axis.

Show Toolbar: Show or hide the plot toolbar.

Grid Lines: Show or hide the grid lines.

Frequency Span:  Although the displayed frequency span can easily be selected using the zoom buttons on the toolbar, you can also manually enter the span yourself.  The span is limited to the total available span.  The actual span displayed may vary slightly from the requested values because the values are adjusted to the nearest bin.  

Display Update Interval:  Controls how often the display is updated.  This is useful on some laptop computers with slow display refresh rates to reduce flicker.
