Squeezing The Scaling Area - HP 7470A Operator's Manual

procedure given for setting the scaling points is used to establish the
first plotting area. When plotting is completed, the new position for Pl
is set for the second plot. P2 moves proportionately and automatically
establishes an equal·sized area for the second plot.

Squeezing the Scaling Area

When a scaling area is established within the plotting area, and then
Pl is moved so that P2 intersects a plotting limit, a new scaling area is
established at the point of intersection.
follows:
DETAIL A: lllustrates a scaling area defined by Pl and P2.
DETAIL B: lllustrates moving
tionately until the plotting limit is reached. At this point,
P2 stops moving with Pl and the distance between
P2 changes.
DETAIL C: lllustrate s moving Pl back to its original location.
P2 maintain the relationship established in Detail B, thus
producing a "squeezed" scaling area.
