We have investigated the properties of the Z pattern of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 17+2 in the X-ray colour-colour diagrams (CDs) and hardness-intensity diagrams (HDDs), and of the power spectra as a function of position in the Z. We used all EXOSAT ME data on GX 17+2, a total of six observations during 1983–86. We find that the Z pattern in the CD does not move to within ∼2 per cent between obs...
