2.9 DUTY Ratio Measurement
The duty ratio is the ratio between the pulse width and the
pulse cycle. This instrument displays this ratio in terms of
100 (%).
Plus slope duty ratio (D+): D+ = tw

2. Use the SHIFT key to select eith
DC, AC, or AC+DC.
Otherwise, select the Hz count
(one cycle).
3. Use the Hz key to select the DUT
ratio.
4. Connect the test leads to the test te
minals.
5. Read the value displayed in th
main display.
To switch the pulse slope polarity ,
hold down the SHIFT key.
Duty ratio cannot be measured if the Hz
counter (100 cycles) is selected.
