Explanation
Selecting the Measurement Channel
Select CH A or CH B.
Selecting the Slope
Select from the following:
•
↑
: Measures from the rising edge to the next rising edge of the input signal.
•
↓
: Measures from the falling edge to the next falling edge of the input signal.
Measurement Range of the Period
Varies depending on the sampling mode.
• When in time stamp mode:
6 ns to 20 ms
• When in hardware histogram mode: 6 ns to 3.2

Continuous Measurement Conditions
When the measurement edge interval is greater than or equal to 12.5 ns, measurements
are made continuously.
When measuring period (

Note
•
Changing the measurement function clears the data that has been acquired to the memory up
to that point.
•
Since period measurement is not possible when the sampling mode is set to inter-symbol
interference analysis mode (ISI), Period does not appear as a possible selection in the
Function selection menu.
