3 - 18 GETTING STARTED
Step 8 The top text line now shows the pulse repetition time of the signal
(e.g., ch1: ∆T= 500 µs).
Step 9 Press the second blue softkey until ’=’ is highlighted. Now perform a
peak-to-peak measurement and check that the amplitude of the signal
(’∆V’) is 600 mV.
NOTE: When you select ’#’, the fifth blue softkey is automatically activated so
that you can choose between using the controls for positioning the
vertical cursors (’||’) or the horizontal cursors (’=’).
The ’READOUT’ submenu is explained in Chapter 4.
Step 10 Select the vertical cursors again.
Step 11 Now switch to the digital mode. Notice the changing readout and the
’X’ indicating where the trace and the cursors intersect. Since the trace
is digitized, the cursors can be really smart. In the digital mode you can
measure time differences (∆T) and amplitude differences (∆V) at the
same time.
Step 12 Use the first blue softkey to turn the cursors off. The cursor menu
disappears.
