6 Measurements and Math Functions
196 InfiniiVision Oscilloscopes User’s Guide
To reset the statistics measurements, press the Reset Statistics softkey. This resets all
statistics and begins recording statistical data again.
Each time a new measurement (for example: frequency, period, or amplitude) is added the
statistics are reset and accumulation of statistical data begins again.
When the [Single] key is pressed, statistics are reset and a single measurement is done
(count = 1). Successive [Single] acquisitions accumulate statistical data ( and the count
is incremented).
Press the Transparent softkey to disable the Transparent mode. This shows statistics
with a gray background. Press the Tran sparent softkey again to enable Transparent mode.
This writes measurement values, statistics, and cursor values on the screen without a
background. This controls the display of statistics in both Quick Meas and the optional
Mask test feature.
The Increment Statistics softkey only appears when the acquisition is stopped and the
optional segmented memory feature is off. Press the [Single] or [Run/Stop] key to stop
the acquisition. You can use the horizontal position control (in the Horizontal control
section of the front panel) to pan through the waveform. Active measurements will stay
on screen, allowing you to measure various aspects of the captured waveforms. Press
Increment Statistics to add the currently measured waveform to the collected statistical
data.
The Analyze Segments softkey only appears when the acquisition is stopped and the
optional segmented memory feature is on. After an acquisition has completed (and the
oscilloscope is stopped), you can press the Analyze Segments softkey to accumulate
measurement statistics for the acquired segments.
You can also turn on infinite persistence (in the Display Menu) and press the Analyze
Segments softkey to create an infinite persistence display.
