Introduction
Only values with tolerances or limits are
guaranteed data. Values without tolerances are
informative data, without guarantee.
Measurement
Functions
Refer to page 8-24 for uncertainty information.
Inputs A and B can be swapped in all modes
except Rise Time and Fall
Time.
Display: All measurements are displayed with
a large main parameter value and smaller
auxiliary parameter values (with less
resolution). Some measurements are only
available as auxiliary parameters.

acquired correctly with Auto Acquisition.
If so, switch to Manual Acquisition
instead.
