About Trace Format

Trace Format determines the format of the trace and parameters used with those formats. The following block diagram shows how the VSA uses trace format to create a trace.

 

The selection made with Trace > Data and Trace > Format determine the units for the x and y axes. For many selections, you can change the y-axis units. To do this, click Trace > Y Scale, and select a different Y unit.
