Math Traces and Functions Overview
With the instrument’s math tools you can perform mathematical functions
on a waveform displayed on any channel, or recalled from any of the four
reference memories M1 to M4. You can also set up traces F1 to F
x
(the
number of math functions that can be performed at the same time
depends on the software options loaded on your oscilloscope) to do math
on parameter measurements P1 to P
x
(the number of parameters that can
be measured at the same time depends on the software options loaded on
your oscilloscope).
Instruments that offer more than one math trace provide enhanced
capabilities. For example: you could set up Trace F1 as the difference
between Channels 1 and 2, Trace F2 as the average of F1, and Trace F3 as
the integral of F2. You could then display the integral of the averaged
difference between Channels 1 and 2.
Any trace and function can be chained to another trace and function. For
example, you could make Trace F1 an average of Channel 1, Trace F2 an
FFT of F1, and Trace F3 a zoom of F2.
Math Made Easy
With the instrument's math tools you can perform mathematical functions
on a waveform displayed on any channel C1 to C4, or recalled from any of
the four reference memories M1 to M4. To do computations in sequence,
you can also use math functions F1 to Fx as a source input waveform. Or
you can use Parameters P1 through Px
For example: you could set up F1 as the difference between Channels 1
and 2, F2 as the average of F1, and F3 as the integral of F2. You could then
display the integral of the averaged difference between Channels 1 and 2.
Any trace and function can be chained to another trace and function. For
example, you could make F1 an average of Channel 1, F2 an FFT of F1, and
F3 a zoom of F2.

each optional package.
