Counters

Digital Voltmeter / 235

Counters / 237

The Digital Voltmeter (DVM) and Counter analysis features are standard on the

HD3-Series oscilloscopes.

Digital Voltmeter

The digital voltmeter (DVM) analysis feature provides 3-digit voltage

measurements on any analog channel. DVM measurements are asynchronous from

the oscilloscope's acquisition system and are always acquiring.
