4 Math Waveforms
 
Units for Math Waveforms
Units for each input channel can be set to Volts or Amps using the Units 
softkey in the channel's Probe Menu. Units for math function waveforms 
are:
A scale unit of U (undefined) will be displayed for math functions when 
two source channels are used and they are set to dissimilar units and the 
combination of units cannot be resolved.
Math Operators
Math operators perform arithmetic operations (like add, subtract, or 
multiply) on analog input channels.

* When the FFT source is channel 1, 2, 3 or 4, FFT units will be displayed in dBV when channel 
units is set to Volts and channel impedance is set to 1 M
Ω. FFT units will be displayed in dBm 
when channel units is set to Volts and channel impedance is set to 50
Ω. FFT units will be 
displayed as dB for all other FFT sources or when a source channel's units has been set to Amps.
