5 - 78 FUNCTION REFERENCE
TOUCH, HOLD & MEASURE ™ MODE
Description:
The TOUCH, HOLD & MEASURE.
™
mode is a quick way to freeze the trace and
to display four main measurements instantly. This is done by pressing the
COMMAND switch on the measuring probe of the required channel.
The four measurements are: dc voltage level, peak-to-peak value, rms value, and
frequency. The four values are displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.
This function is a fast and easy way of troubleshooting. The COMMAND switch is
always where it should be: near the place to be measured (not on the
oscilloscope). This feature enables accurate signal probing and display freezing
without having to reach and touch the oscilloscope control.
NOTE: The ‘PROBE SWITCH’ setting of the ‘UTILITY >> PROBE’ menu must
first be set to ‘q.meas’ in order to obtain a reading on the oscilloscope
when you press the COMMAND switch on the measuring probe.
Press the COMMAND switch again to go to RUN mode. TOUCH, HOLD &
MEASURE
™
results are deleted from display.
