POSITION control, and noting the distances displayed, verify that
the distance between the points where the leading edge crosses the highest and
lowest major graticule lines is less than or equal to 0.096 feet (0.029 m).

In the above example, the distances are –0.848 feet and –0.768 feet. The difference
between these two measurements is 0.080 feet, which is well within specification.
Jitter is the uncertainty in the timebase. Its main effect is that the waveform appears
to move back and forth a very small amount. If the jitter is too great, it will affect
the repeatability of very precise distance measurements.

2. Watch the leading edge of the pulse move and verify that this movement is less
than five pixels, or < 0.02 ft (0.006 m).
