Measurement Setup

Press .

The

Measurement Setup

menu is displayed.

Use the

, and

softkeys to highlight the setting field and click

to configure the setting.

When you have configured the measurements gates, you can assign the

measurement feed and display the results in numeric formats. For example, dual

numeric display with Gate 1 peak measurement minus Gate 3 peak measurement.

Also, from this menu you can add offsets and measurement limits. For further

detail on these settings, refer the appropriate section.
