Math
The oscilloscope supports many math operations between analog channels including addition (+), subtraction (-),
multiplication (*), division (/), FFT, dierential (d/dt), integral (
∫
𝑑𝑡), square root (√). The resulting math
waveform is displayed in white and labeled with “M”. You can use cursors to measure it.
Note:
If the analog channel or the math function is cut o (waveforms do not display on the screen completely), the resulting
math will also be cut o.
9.1 Units for Math Waveforms
Use the channel function menu to set the unit of each channel to “V” or “A”.
The oscilloscope math operation includes units as below:
