5.6.1 Setting the Waveform Calculation
Setting Screen: Calc
Calculation (OFF, ON)
NOTE
5.6 Waveform Calculation
Waveform calculations perform the four basic arithmetic operations on a
stored waveform.
Area and value comparison are both conducted on the waveform obtained
by calculations.
The A/B cursor is used to read the waveform values obtained by
waveform calculations.
When set ON, waveform calculations are automatically performed after a
waveform has been stored. Waveform calculations may be performed on
previously stored waveforms, as well as newly stored waveforms. (See 5.6.3)
There are six Calculations, as shown below.
(1) Absolute value (ABS)
(2) Half-wave rectification (Rectify)
(3) CH1+CH2 or CH2+CH1
(4) CH1-CH2 or CH2-CH1
(5) CH1xCH2 or CH2xCH1
(6) CH1/CH2 or CH2/CH1
For flow of measurement/comparison with calculations, see <<Related
Issues>> in 5.2.1
When "
Average
"is"
ON
" (see 4.2.5), waveform calculations are not
available.
Calculation turns on the variable function (see 4.3.9).
When waveform calculation is enabled, only calculated waveforms are saved.
Turns the waveform calculation function ON/OFF.
Setting Procedure
1. Press the
COMP SETTINGS
key, and select
"
Calc
"tag.
2. Select "
Calculation
" on the menu, then
press the
ENTER
key.
3. Use the
CURSOR
key to select "
OFF
"or
"
ON
", then press the
ENTER
key.
OFF : Does not use the calculation function.
ON : Uses the calculation function.
When "
Scaling
"is"
ON
", calculations are
performed on scaled values.
When "
Average
"is"
ON
", calculations are not
available. For details of averaging, see 4.2.5.
