Measuring Pulse Width
You are analyzing a pulse waveform, and you want to know the
width of the pulse. To measure the width of a pulse using the time
cursors, do these steps:
1. Push the CURSOR button to see the Cursor menu.
2. Push the top menu box button to select Time.
3. Push the Source menu box button to select CH1.
4. Use the CURSOR 1 knob to place a cursor on the rising edge of
the pulse.
5. Use the CURSOR 2 knob to place the remaining cursor on the
falling edge of the pulse.
You can see the following measurements in the Cursor menu:
H
The time at Cursor 1, relative to the trigger.
H
The time at Cursor 2, relative to the trigger.
H
The delta time, which is the pulse width measurement.
