To make an automatic measurement
A brief description of how to make automatic measurements is
given on page 73.
Quick Meas makes automatic measurements on any channel
source or any running math function. The results of the last four
measurements selected are displayed on the dedicated line
above the softkeys, or in the display area when some menus are
selected. Quick Meas also makes measurements on stopped
waveforms when you are panning and zooming.
Cursors are turned on to show the portion of the waveform
being measured for the most recently selected measurement
(right-most on the measurement line).
1 Press the Quick Meas key to display the automatic
measurement menu.
2 Press the Source softkey to select the channel or running
math function on which the quick measurements will be
made.
Only channels or math functions that are displayed are
available for measurements. If you choose an invalid source
channel for a measurement, the measurement will default to
the nearest in the list that makes the source valid.
If a portion of the waveform required for a measurement is
not displayed or does not display enough resolution to make
the measurement, the result will display “No Edges”,
“Clipped”, “Low Signal”, “< value”, or “> value”, or a similar
message to indicate that the measurement may not be
reliable.
