Automatic-Measurement Fields

There are two Automatic-Measurement fields.  They are the Input
field and the actual automatic measurement display.  These fields are
discussed in the following paragraphs.

Input Field

The Input field allows you to select the source of the waveform to be
measured.  When you touch this field, a pop-up menu appears showing the
input sources.  Be sure the proper source is selected for the input used.  The
options displayed in the Input pop-up menu are dependent upon how many
cards are part of the oscilloscope module and in which slots they are
installed.

The default selection for the Input field is the lowest lettered and numbered
input channel of the module.

Automatic Measurements Display

The tan-colored field in the middle row of the menu is called the automatic
measurements display.  This display shows the nine automatic
measurements that you can make.  The measurements that this display
shows are:

See Also

"Automatic Measurement Algorithms" at the end of this chapter for an
explanation of each of these fields.
