Chapter 2. Polar Tab - Propeller Balancing
The polar tab shows the polar chart we use when balancing. Some features
of this tab differ depending on whether we are balancing a propeller or a rotor.
Here we see the polar tab displaying the results of a propeller balancing job.

The polar chart shows the points that were captured during the balancing
process. The chart may be panned and zoomed

. If the PB-4 is connected and
the Update checkbox is checked, the chart will be updated in real-time to show
the current balance condition.
The
current point is simply the most recent point sent from the PB-4 when the
display is being updated in real-time or the point that has been selected in the
points list when the display is not being updated in real-time.
Each point is plotted as a circle

, the colour coding of the plotted points are:
Captured point.

circles and Y and Y2 axis points are plotted as squares.
