To set up the scatter pairing do this: move cursor to any band of interest in the vs window; it will bring up a second screen to the right; then move cursor to this last window and to the other band which will also highlight.
If the pattern is a narrow ellipse, with about a 45° angle, the two bands are strongly correlated; if the angle is less or greater than 45° the same pixel point has two somewhat different DN values but there is still some correlation.
