Nice!

I don't know what the "Pha_B = 0" means though, the figure shows a definite phase shift. 0 degrees will give you a straight line like this  /  and 90 degrees gives a perfect circle and 180 degrees a straight line like \  .   See below for some examples.

Here's how to get to the precise phase angle from the Lissajous figure:

Thanks Tinsel, I should have removed the "Phase B=" measurement from the screen, it was alternating between 220 and 0,
so it wasn't doing anything meaningful I don't think.
Definitely there was an indicated 30 something degrees shift before I went to X - Y mode. maybe it was 37 degrees or so, I didn't
take much notice as I was just trying to get the pattern.

Ta..

Just roughly looking at your figure, I count Yo=10.5 and Ym=22.5, so Yo/Ym= 0.466something and arcsin of that is about 27.8 degrees. This will be somewhat sensitive to centering and your vertical amp settings but should be pretty close. It would be interesting to compare the same input in the time domain by carefully measuring the zerocrossings with the scope's cursors.

ETA: The figure sure looks fat enough to be near 45 degrees, so that's why I'd like a second measurement if it's not too inconvenient.

I see now, click, light on. OK so I will try to get that done. I just realized that I should be able to show the 1:2 frequency pattern
as well because if I reduce the HV tank capacitance enough it resonates at double the frequency of the primary.  Of course, as
it must.
When I do that I think the LV tank filters out most of the power and it's output becomes almost nothing. But if I made the output
tank so it could be tuned to double the Res frequency then I might get an output at 590 kHz with a 295 kHz input frequency.
Not that I can see any use for that at this point in time. Unless I can claim double the "OU in VARs" for it. hahahaha

P.S. Yes I might have fiddled with the vertical divisions on one channel after going to X - Y mode, I did get both signals the same
before I went to X - Y mode though, I'll repeat with more documentation and the comparison. Important not to change vertical
divisions after going to X - Y mode it seems.

I need to optimize my documentation of this so I can get onto other experiments and try some other things, so I'll get the 3 Watt
globe powered up and show the input ( loaded and unloaded ) and the setup and then mount the camera to show the virtual
panel on the computer.

That way it can be seen that the wave forms remain the same, and I won't need to show input or anything as the setup won't
need to be touched I hope. Then I can go through the settings I'm using on the Ultrascope software, maybe get some tips after. 

To go from loaded wave forms to unloaded wave forms I'll need to adjust the vertical divisions due to resonance rise.

I hope to get back in a few hours with the results. Maybe much sooner with a pattern or two. I have to use my stills camera for
video for now so quality and battery time is limited.
