Graphical Mode Functions
The ADM-1000 has a sophisticated graphical display mode which can show
the variation of the measured value with time. Various trigger modes allow the
capturing of difficult waveforms, and comprehensive cursor functions allow for
calculation of parameters such as time, power, frequency and energy.
An advanced pulse-capture technique ensures that the narrowest pulses are
displayed right down to the slowest timebases to allow the measurement of
pulse repetition frequency and period.
To switch to Graphical Mode press the display mode button
. In graphical
display mode there are two modes which enable quick selection of the most
commonly used commands. The mod
e is indicated by the label ‘Rng’ or ‘Trg’
in the bottom right corner of the display, and the mode can be switched
between the two by p
ressing the ‘5’ button. The ‘Rng’ mode allows quick
selection o
f the operating ranges, the ‘Trg’ mode allows quick adjustment of
the trigger settings.
