Making automatic measurements
Quick Meas makes automatic measurements on any channel source or any 
running math function. The results of the last three 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).
1Press the Quick Meas key to display the automatic measurement menu.
2Press 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.
3Press the Clear Meas softkey to stop making measurements and to erase 
the measurement results from the display line above the softkeys.
When Quick Meas is pressed again, the default measurements will be Frequency 
and Peak-Peak.
4Press the Select softkey then rotate the Entry knob to select a 
measurement to be made.
5The 
Settings softkey will be available to make additional measurement 
settings on some measurements.
6Press the 
Measure softkey to make the measurement.
7To turn off 
Quick Meas, press the Quick Meas key again until it is not 
illuminated.
