Waveform Display Function
The 5335B power meter displays waveform representations of the sampled data measured. This function is designed to
be similar to an oscilloscope with many of the typical functions of oscilloscopes available, like trigger, run/stop and single
trigger. The capture of data is not limited to that displayed onscreen, the measurement interval is also involved. For
example, measuring a 15Hz signal with the interval set to 0.1s does not allow for stable measurement of the frequency.
The waveform is however still viewable at 100ms/div.

Parameter
Description
V_RANGE
Voltage range setting: press to set the voltage range
A_RANGE
Current range setting: press to set the current range
RUN/STOP
Run/stop: press to run or stop waveform capture
SINGLE
Single measurement: pressing this stops capture and proceeds with a single capture of
data following a trigger event.
