Using Automated
Measurements
There are various ways to measure properties of waveforms in store
mode. You can use graticule, cursor, or automatic measurements.
Automatic measurements are generally more accurate than, for ex
ample, counting graticule divisions. During operation, the 2216 os-
cilloscope will continuously update and display these measure
ments.
Automatic measurements calculate waveform parameters from ac
quired data. Measurements are performed over the entire waveform
or the region specified by the TIME' cursors (if 'Gating ON' is se
lected in the Measurement Menu).
The 2216 provides 15 different automatic measurements
(see Table 1-1).
The readout of the measurement result is on the right side of the crt
screen. One automatically updated measurement can be displayed at
a time.
NOTE
To ensure
maximum
vertical accuracy in the measurement,
the User Compensation function in the Setup Utility Menu
should he performed before the measurement is started.
