SR785 Dynamic Signal Analyzer 

  User Math Menu     

The User Math menu sets up user defined measurements and math calculations. 

Use a User Function to define measurements which are not already available in each 
Measurement Group. To make a measurement of a defined User Function, select the 
User Function as the Measurement for the active display. 

See ‘User Math Functions’ in Chapter 2 for more. 

 

Function     

To edit a User Functions, use the knob to choose a function and press [Enter]. Only the 5 
User Functions within the current Measurement Group may be edited. The current 
definition of the functions is displayed as the knob moves through the list. 

Edit Function     

Display the Edit Function menu to edit the selected User Function. Press <Cancel> to 
exit back to the main [User Math] menu . 

To enter an equation, use <Operands> and <Operations> and the knob to select operands 
and operations. [<-] (Backspace) deletes the term before the cursor. 

To edit an equation, use <Func String> and the knob to move the flashing cursor within 
the equation. <Delete> will delete the highlighted term. <Operands> and <Operations> 
will either insert or replace at the cursor. Use <Insert/Replace> to switch between insert 
and replace mode. <Clear Eq> will delete the entire equation. 

<Cancel> will discard any changes made in this menu and exit this menu. 

<Enter Eq> will enter the new function equation and exit this menu. The new User 
Function definition is used immediately if it is being displayed.
