Waveform Display Function
The 5335B power meter displays waveform representations of the sampled data measured. This function is
designed to be similar to an oscilloscope with many of the typical functions of oscilloscopes available, like
trigger, run/stop and single trigger. The capture of data is not limited to that displayed onscreen, the
measurement interval is also involved. For example, measuring a 15Hz signal with the interval set to 0.1s does
not allow for stable measurement of the frequency. The waveform is however still viewable at 100ms/div.
To enter the waveform function press the button.
6.0.1 Trigger Status
The Auto/Stop eld in the upper right corner of the display, below the time shows the trigger status. The
meanings are as follows:
Auto Auto mode and a trigger has occured
Auto? Auto mode waiting for a trigger
Trig? Single mode waiting for a trigger
Stop Capture stopped. Reached either by pressing “stop” or completing a single mode capture
