Once you have set up to make your measurements, the features cursor and
measure can help you quickly make those measurements.
Cursor
Two types of cursors are provided for making parametric measurements on
the displayed waveforms. Voltage can be measured between the positions of
H Bar (horizontal) cursors, and time can be measured between V Bar (verti-
cal) cursors. These are delta measurements; that is, measurements based on
the difference between two cursors.
Both V Bar and H Bar cursors can also be used to make absolute measure-
ments—measurements relative to a defined level or event. In the case of the
H Bars, either cursor can be selected to read out its voltage with respect to
the ground reference level of any channel; in the case of the V Bars, its time
with respect to the trigger point (event) of the acquisition.
For time measurements, units can be either seconds or Hertz (for 1/time).
Measure
Measure can automatically extract parameters from the signal input to the
digitizing oscilloscope. Any four out of the more than 20 parameters available
can be displayed to the screen. The displayed parameters are extracted
continuously and the results updated on-screen as the digitizing oscilloscope
continues to acquire waveforms.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
An important component of the multiprocessor architecture of this digitizing
oscilloscope is Tektronix proprietary digital signal processor, the DSP. This
dedicated processor supports advanced analysis of your waveforms when
doing such compute-intensive tasks as interpolation, waveform math, and
signal averaging. It also teams with a custom display system to deliver spe-
cialized display modes (see
Display, later in this description).
You can save acquired waveforms in any of four nonvolatile REF (reference)
memories. Any or all of the saved waveforms can be displayed for compari-
son with the waveforms being currently acquired.
You can choose the source and destination of waveforms to be saved. You
can save any of the input channels to any REF memory or move a stored
reference from one REF memory to another. You can also write reference
waveforms into a REF memory location via the GPIB interface.
The digitizing oscilloscope is fully controllable and capable of sending and
receiving waveforms over the GPIB interface (IEEE Std 488.1-1987/IEEE Std
488.2-1987 standard). This feature makes the instrument ideal for making
automated measurements in a production or research and development
