Marker and Measurement Controls
Using the marker and measurement controls, you control two sets of markers
within the oscilloscope graticule. You use markers to make more accurate
measurements of waveform events than you could make visually. Both time and
voltage differences between the markers are updated continuously on the
screen. By default, the markers track the source waveform. Voltage
measurements from the markers are the value of the waveform at the time set
with the marker arrow keys.
The QuickMeas key initiates four preset measurements on the waveforms. Both
quick measurements and markers will function on any input waveform; simply
continue to press and release one of the keys (either QuickMeas, Marker A, or
Marker B) to cycle through all the waveforms on the screen, then to the off
state. You choose which four measurements will be performed by using the
measurement configuration commands in the graphical interface.
