Kenwood CS-5200 Series - Measuring S I G N a L S with High Frequency Components

8 — 6 Measuring Si gnaIs wi th High Frequency Components
Always use a probe when measuring pulses or signals of a few hundred kHz or above.
This is because distortion will occur in the waveform's high frequency component due to
the use of long leads. This makes it difficult to conduct accurate waveforms. This is
also true for probes with long ground leads, so keep them as short as possible. In
addition, ensure the ground lead clip is connected to a ground potential close to the
signal to be measured.

8 — 7 Measur i ng T i me Between Two Po i nts
When measuring time between two points, measurements can be determined from SWEEP TIME/DIV
and horizontal distance.
1) Display the waveform by adjusting each control. Set all the VARIABLE controls to the
CAL position.
2) Use the ^•POSITION control to br ing one point to be measured in line with a
Vertical graduation line. Then, use the y POSITION control to bring the other point
to be measured in line with the horizontal scale in the middle of the CRT.
3) Measure the horizontal distance between the two points. Multiply this value by the
SWEEP TIME/DIV setting value. If the x 10 MAG function is activated, multiply the
value by 1/10.
