How to start Hal in interactive mode

I usually just do incremental jog moves for my movements.
For the trigger I usually set it to normal use the rising edge of the velocity command for the axis I'm testing as the trigger.
I like to plot the velocity command, velocity feed back, and the pid error.

I've got a interactive HalScope session running. Channel 1 is "axis.0.f-error", channel 2 is "axis.0.joint-vel-cmd", channel 3 is "axis.0.joint-vel-fb", and channel 4 is "axis.0.motor-cmd".
Using MDI mode to move X axis back and forth 1.0 inch at a time.

Run Mode is set to "Normal", Trigger is set to "Normal". I have tried all 4 channels as trigger but still don't get anything on the screen.

Do you see what I am doing wrong??

Well now that I finally got something, what do I do with it?

X axis



Then I got this for Y axis

NO - these don't look anything like yours. I don't know maybe it will all make sense tomorrow!

Am I suppose to bring the hump in the line down along the original line?

I just do a MDI G0 for rapid and a G1 for cutting speed check. So if I'm tuning the X axis I have two MDI's that I click one like this:
G0 X2
G0 X0

What feed rate do use when doing this?
The only way to control the feed is to use a F5.0 or etc.
