Continuous Softkey
When the continuous softkey is set to off, the time and voltage markers
are placed on the waveform showing where the measurement was made. The
measurement is performed once, and you must repeat the measurement to
get another measurement result.
When the continuous softkey is set to on, the measurement is performed
continuously and the results are updated each time the measurement is
made. The time and voltage markers are not placed on the waveform. Also,
the statistics softkey is displayed. If statistics is turned off, you can have up
to eight measurements on the display at one time.
Statistics Softkey
The continuous softkey must be on before the statistics softkey is
available. When the statistics softkey is set to on, either the minimum,
maximum, and average values are displayed or the average and standard
deviation values are displayed. Which statistics are displayed depends on the
selection of the statistics output softkey. Statistics operates on up to three
measurements.
Measure Window Softkey
The continuous softkey must be on before the measure window softkey is
available. The measurement window softkey allows you to customize
where measurements are made. The choices are screen and markers.
Screen When screen is selected, the measurement is made on the
waveform data that is displayed on the screen.
