The step-like signal to be analyzed is a time domain waveform, and the result is a math
waveform in the frequency domain.
To get useful results, check and adjust the following settings:
1. Place the analyzed step of the signal in the left half of the time domain diagram.
Use the "Reference point" or the horizontal "Position" of the trigger to move the sig-
nal.

Chapter 5.4, "Acquire settings"
2. Adjust the record lengths of the source signal and the math signal. The "Record
length" of the step-like source signal must be shorter than the number of points in
the resulting math function, which is set in the formula. See also:
3. If the resulting math waveform is noisy, increase the "Average count" for the source
signal until the waveform is clear.

Defining a formula in the formula editor
1. Open the "Menu" > "Math" dialog.
2. Select the Equation tab.
3. Double-tap the editing area.
The "Formula Editor" is displayed.
4. Enter the math formula including all required signal sources and operators by
selecting the corresponding keys in the editor. For details on the available keys,
see
Chapter 7.3.4.1, "Formula editor"
5. To insert a physical unit in the formula, proceed as follows:
a) If necessary, insert a decimal prefix using the "M/k/
µ
" key.
b) Insert an opening square bracket using the "[" key.
c) Insert the physical unit using the "V/A/
Ω
" key.
d) Insert a closing square bracket using the "]" key.
The resulting expression could be, for example:
m[V]
6. To perform a rescaling function, proceed as follows:
a) Select the rescaling function using the "ax+b" key.
b) Behind the left bracket, insert the signal source using one of the following keys:
● "Ch" for a channel
● "Math" for a math function
● "Ref" for a reference waveform
● "Meas" for a measurement
c) Insert a comma using the "," key.
d) Insert the "a" value, i.e. the scaling factor, using the number keys.
