4 Making Measurements

Displaying Automatic Measurements
You can use the Measure button to display automatic measurements. The
oscilloscope has 20 automatic measurements and a hardware frequency
counter (see “Voltage Measurements” on page 90 and “Time
Measurements” on page 93).
To display an automatic measurement
1 Press Measure.
2 In the Measure menu, select Source to select the input channel or math
waveform on which to make the automatic measurement.
3 Select Voltage (for voltage measurements) or Time (for time
measurements).
4 Then, push the menu button for the measurement to add to the bottom
of the display.
If the measurement result is displayed as "*****", the measurement cannot
be performed with the current oscilloscope settings.
A maximum of three measurements can be displayed at the bottom of the
display. When three measurements are displayed and you add a new one,
the measurements shift to the left, pushing the first measurement result
off screen.
