Using the Oscilloscope 2
Keysight Infiniium 9000 Series Oscilloscopes User’s Guide 41
Making a measurement on a waveform
Drag a measurement icon to the waveform event you want to measure, or click a
measurement icon and specify which source you want to measure in the dialog box
that appears.
For measurements on waveform features, such as those that involve waveform
edges, if you click the measurement icon and specify a source, the measurement
defaults to using the feature closest to the horizontal reference point. When you
make the measurement using drag-and-drop, the measurement uses the
waveform feature closest to the point where you drop the icon.
The most commonly used measurements are available in the drag and drop area.
Others are available from the Add Measurement dialog box.
When you drag and drop a measurement icon on a waveform, the icon outline
changes color to match the color of each waveform it touches so you can easily
see which waveform will be measured.
For edge-sensitive measurements, when you drop the measurement icon on a
waveform, a circled number appears in the waveform marker color. This number
shows exactly where the measurement is being made. It is displayed next to the
measurement readout in the Results area.
This feature helps you distinguish measurement results from each other when you
make multiple measurements on the same waveform, but at different waveform
features.
Using quick measurements
You can define the [Multi Purpose] key to perform one of these quick actions:
• QuickMeas—performs automatic measurements
• QuickPrint—prints the screen image to the default printer
• QuickScreen—saves the screen image to a file
• QuickSetup—loads a setup file
•QuickWaveform—saves waveform data to a file
• QuickSave—saves a customized set of screen images and/or waveforms to the
selected file
• QuickEmail—sends an email of the current screen image
• QuickExecute—runs an executable file
• QuickControl—cycles through the possible front panel control sources
• QuickComposite—saves the composite data to the selected file
The action taken when the [Multi Purpose] key is pressed (or Utilities > Multipurpose
is chosen) depends on the feature selected in the Customize Multipurpose dialog
box (Utilities > Customize Multipurpose...). The default feature is QuickMeas.
