Waveform Measurements
The Waveform Measurement Process

The
instrument
uses
this
process
for
waveform
measurement.
Data collection
In order to make measurements on a signal, the instrument must rst collect
data about that signal. In the case of a live signal being measured from the
front
panel,
the
measurement
process begins
as
soon
as
any
data
is
available
.
The data
record
used
for
making
measurements
on
waveform
memories
is
the
stored data. Measurements being made on functions require that the function
be calculated before the measurement process is started.
