Explanation
Single Measurement
• When block sampling is OFF
Measurement is performed once over the range specified by a single gate (1 block)
and the display of the measurement results is updated.
• When block sampling is ON
Measurement is performed the number of times specified by block size. When the
measurement of all blocks is complete, the display of the measured results is updated.
Continuous Measurement
• When block sampling is OFF
Repeats the single block measurement. When the measurement of a block is
complete, the display of the measured results is updated.
• When block sampling is ON
Repeats the measurement of the specified block size. Each time the measurement of
all blocks is complete, the display of the measured results is updated.
Note
•
Measurement cannot be started when the storage medium is being accessed.
•
For the setup procedure of the gate, see section 6.1.
•
For the setup procedure of turning ON/OFF block sampling and the block size, see section 6.5.
•
If the measurement is stopped in the middle of the measurement block by pressing the
START/STOP key, the measured data up to the point when the key was pressed is acquired,
and the measurement stops.
•
If the measurement conditions are changed while measurement is in progress, measurement
is restarted. Measurement conditions are items that are set mainly by pressing the MODE,
FUNCTION, SAMPLE, and INPUT keys.
•
The CHA/CHB input indicator is provided above the signal input terminal. If this indicator is
not blinking, the signal may not be entering the TA720. Check the trigger level setting (see
section 6.6), the cable connection, and the signal source.
If the CHA/CHB indicator does not blink even when a signal is properly applied to the signal
input terminal of the TA720, it is probably a malfunction. Please contact your nearest
YOKOGAWA dealer as listed on the back cover of this manual for repairs.
