I've been using an analog scope to display X-Y like the pic in my avatar. It's a great help to have control of the deflection factor (volts per division) and signal inversion like the old Tek 7000 series where all you have to do is stick a vertical plugin in the horizontal slot. Phase is a problem above 100kHz because of the vertical delay line, but that's ok. Is there a digital scope that can do this?
My trusty Lab Assistant used the X-Y mode on the Tek TDS 1002B to plot the V-I characteristic of a series RLC circuit at two different frequencies . . . and determined that the roll of black hookup wire has an inductance of about 49 uHy.

Other comments:
- The "MEASURE" feature on the TDS 1002 doesn't work with X-Y mode so you can't show frequency on the X-Y display;
- The Tek "OpenChoice Desktop" program is a nice way to grab an image of the 'scope display;
- The Windows "Snipping Tool" is an easy-to-use screen-capture program;
- The IPEVO P2V webcam can focus down close enough to inspect the plating on an IC pin.

The things I'm looking at are not repetitive waveforms. Mostly looking at voltage and current in a speaker driven by a guitar well past clipping. See post #4 in this thread: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/inst...ft-clipping-current-limited-power-supply.html
The waveforms need to be recorded for perhaps 0.1 seconds and then plotted in X-Y form. Can the scope display it in real time or is it some post acquire processing?
