Setting Measurement Conditions

Measurement Block

The TA720 repeats the process of making measurements, processing data, and displaying

the result. The “measurement block” refers to the smallest unit of measurement that is

handled in one cycle of the process. As shown in the figure below, if the number of

samples (number of data points) acquired in one cycle of the process is N, then “one

measurement block” refers to measuring, processing, and displaying N samples of data.

The range of the measurement block is specified using gates (see the next page).

Continuous Measurement Conditions

As shown in the figure above, measurements (such as on the period) can be measured

continuously within a single measurement block. However, continuous measurement is

possible only when the input signal meets the following conditions.

Single measurement function (sample rate: 80 MS/s)

Period or pulse width measurement:

Measurement edge interval is 12.5 ns or more.

A-to-B time interval measurement:

Measurement edge interval of the CH A input signal is 12.5 ns or more and the

measurement edge of the CH B input signal to the measurement edge of the CH A

input signal is 0 ns or more.
