Flgure 3-35 shows a typical period measurement.
Figure 3-35: Period Measurement
Measuring Time Using the Delay Time Readout
The amount of time between events can be measured by taking the differ-
ence between two delay time readings:
Step
1
:
Select Horizontal
BOTH
and use the
A/B SWP SEP
control to
separate the
A
sweep from the
B
sweep.
Step
2:
Set the
B
SECIDIV
switch to the fastest sweep speed that
provides a usable (visible) intensified zone.
Step 3:
Adjust the
B DELAY TIME POSITION
control to move the
intensified zone to the leading edge of the first horizontal point on the
A
trace; then fine-adjust until the rising portion on the
B
trace is aligned
with any convenient vertical
graticule line (Figure 3-36).
NOTE
In
the
NON-STORE
mode the
A
and
B
traces can be displayed
simultaneously.
