The functions in the XY Plots module allow you to study the relationships between data vectors in results files.  This section introduces the functions that are available.

Information about xy plots is stored in plot collectors, which are referred to as plots.  Plots maintain a list of pointers to curves that are to be displayed on the plot.  The plot may contain any number of curves.  There is no limit to the number of plot collectors that an HM database may contain.

Information about curves is stored in curve collectors, which are referred to as curves.  To display a curve, you must assign the curve collector to a plot.  A curve may appear on more than one plot at a time and there is no limit to the number of curves that an HM database may contain.

You can create standard plots or dual plots that show real /imaginary or phase/magnitude data.  

Procedures for creating and editing xy plots and curves include:
