steps. Meas-
urement stops when the set number of bits is exceeded. The
MP8931A has limitations on the number of bits to be measured
(valid number of bits) corresponding to frequency. Refer to the fol-
lowing descriptions when perform the setting.
For example, even if the number of bits is set to “1E+3” while fre-
quency is set to 10 MHz, measurement stops between “1E+4” to
“1E+5.”
Select “Count” measurement method on the measurement menu
screen to perform setting and measurement.
<Procedure>
1. Select “Count” by using the
and
keys on the Meas-
ure* setting screen.
2. Press [Enter] or
to display the Count setting items.
3. Select the number of bits to be measured by using the
and
keys. Press [Enter] to finalize the setting.
When this setting is performed during measurement, meas-
urement is restarted and the menu closes. When this setting is
performed while measurement is stopped, the measurement
menu is displayed again.
