Phase Plot Options

The phase display options dialog box can be activated by selecting the <Options><Plot Options><Phase> menu or by clicking on the options dialog icon button in the plot 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. 

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

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

Grid Lines: Show or hide the grid lines.

Show Toolbar: Show or hide the plot toolbar.  A small + or - button below the toolbar also controls this feature.

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.

Copy these settings to other channels: Allows you copy the plot options to other channels you select.
