Environment sensors
Environment sensors can provide additional information during a measurement, e.g. the
temperature. The collected data can be displayed as a background color in the waveform
diagram. Thus you can analyze, for example, temperature-dependant behavior during a
measurement.
The various measurement types and results are described in detail in the following sec-
tions.
● Measurement Results...........................................................................................130
● Amplitude/Time Measurements............................................................................132
● Eye/Jitter Measurements......................................................................................136
● Histograms............................................................................................................138
● Spectrum Measurements......................................................................................140
5.2.1.1 Measurement Results
The results of automatic measurements are displayed in a result box on the screen. For
each measurement, a separate result box is displayed. The result box is displayed auto-
matically when an automatic measurement is enabled.
Similar to waveform diagrams, you can minimize the result box to a result icon on the
signal bar, and display results in a separate diagram on the screen. For details, see
"Displaying results" in the "Getting Started" manual.
To save space in the display, minimize the result boxes. The most important results are
displayed and updated in the signal icon, as well.
You can extend the result box with a small control panel which provides source settings
and statistics enabling for quick access: "Measurements" dialog box > "Gate/Display" tab
> "Show result control panel".
The function "Clear screen results" in the "Display" menu resets all results in all mea-
surement result boxes including long term measurement and statistic results and deletes
the current measurement waveforms.
Which results are displayed depends on the measurement type and is described in detail
in the following chapters.
Status icons
Status information on the measurement is indicated by the following icons in the result
box:
