NT UF 811 CO GB (c) / March 2014

8) Probe type

These pages (depending on the number of chords) provide the reference

of the associated probes for each chord.

9) Flow graph

The flow graph is a screen for displaying changes in a particular magnitude on a curve.

5.7.2 Verification of measurement quality and consistency

The information on the different "Measurement" mode pages is used to check the consistency of your

measurement.

The gain and QI (quality index) values also tell you about the quality of your measurement.
