Executing TrendPlot▄ 1. Press the MIN MAX key on your ScopeMeter test tool.
    Note: The TrendPlot function is available only on the
          Fluke 99 ScopeMeter test tool.

Your ScopeMeter test tool has now started to make a trend
plot. The AnyWave software allows you to retrieve the trend
plot that your ScopeMeter test tool is now making.

 2. Select <TrendPlot> in the ring control box next to the
    Start button.

 3. Activate the <Start> button. The trend plot is immediately
    retrieved and displayed on the computer screen.

    Your computer screen shows three waveforms. They represent
    the maximum, averaged, and minimum values of the selected
    main reading.

    Tip: No new measurements will be added in the stripchart,
         once the trend plot has been retrieved. However, the
         TrendPlot function on your ScopeMeter test tool
         continues trend plotting. To retrieve the same trend
         plot as it develops further, just repeat step 3.

Execute Logging:

 7. Activate the <Start> button. As a result, the meter
    readings become visible in the stripchart. Every x seconds
    the value of the selected meter reading is plotted in the
    stripchart and the reading results are updated. Notice
    that all menu options are disabled now.
 8. To stop logging, activate the <Stop> button. The graphical
    representation of the selected function disappears. All
    menu options are enabled again.

All readings that you selected in step 3 and 4 are logged. To
view each of the logged meter readings, do the following:

- Activate the button in front of each Meas value to read it
  during logging. As a result, the actual value is displayed
  in the corresponding value box behind the Meas value.

- If you don't want to log a measurement value, make the
  button in front of each Meas value inactive. This saves
  disk space and reading time of meter values during logging.
#Statistical Measurement Value BoxesÉPress the MIN MAX or RECORD key on the ScopeMeter test tool,
or activate the <Min Max> or <Record> button via the

Upper Limit Value BoxèDisplays the upper limit value of the stripchart.

If vertical upper autoscaling is chosen, the upper limit is
automatically adapted.
Time Scale Value Box╣Displays the time scale of the stripchart.
Default value = 60 s/division.

As there are five divisions, the total time scale is 5 x 60
