Time Difference Measurement
Between Two Time-Related Pulses
The calibrated sweep speed and dual-trace features of the instru-
ment allow measurement of the time difference between two sepa-
rate events. To obtain a reliable measurement result, use either
probes or cables with equal time delays. You can use the following
procedure to measure time difference (see Figure 3-7):
Step 1. Switch the 2212 on and obtain a baseline display in
Non-Store mode.

Step 2. Toggle the Trigger SOURCE switch to CH 1.
Step 3. Set both AC-GND-DC switches to the same position,
depending on the type of input coupling desired (AC or
DC).
