Measure
Measurement parameters are tools that give you access to a wide range of waveform properties. Use
them to analyze many attributes of your waveform such as rise-time, rms voltage, and peak-to-peak
voltage. Measurements can also be graphed as histrogram, track, or trend to facilitate analysis.
The instrument offers a quick selection of standard horizontal and vertical measurements, or you can
create a custom set of parameters (My Measure) drawn from all available
.
Measure Table
Measurement readouts appear in a table below the grid. The
value
row shows the measurements
taken for each parameter on the last cycle of the last acquisition. Other rows show optional
statistics.
Measurement Status Indicators
Symbols in the
status
row of the Measure table indicate the following:
Symbol
Description
Problem with the signal or the setup. Touch cell to see explanation in message bar.
Valid value returned.
Unable to determine top and base; however, measurement may still be valid.
Underflow condition.
Overflow condition.
Simultaneous underflow and overflow condition.
Navigating with the Table
Close setup dialogs when the Measure table is displayed to maximize the touch screen area available
for viewing waveforms. The table can be used to quickly access setup dialogs and make
modifications. To open the
, touch the P
x
cell of the table. Touch the far
left Measure column to open the
and modify the table contents. The table is static
when using the standard measurements, as these cannot be changed.
