Measuring Signals
Measuring Signals details how you can measure waveform displays in terms
of time, amplitude, frequency, and phase.
Measuring with the
Graticule
Although you can measure any signal with cursors in the
STORE
mode, it is
sometimes just as easy to use the graticule (Figure
3-29).

Each major division is split into
5
minor divisions. One minor
division equals two-tenths

Measuring with the CRT Graticule
The graticule is a graph that you can change the vertical and horizontal
scale factors. The
VOLTS/DIV
setting (or readout) indicates the vertical scale
for each major division. The
SECIDIV
setting (or readout) indicates the
horizontal scale for each major division. Each minor division represents
two-tenths (0.2) of the major division value.
Measuring with
Cursor measurements are highly accurate and eliminate the calculations of
STORE
Mode
graticule measurements. In
STORE
mode the oscilloscope simultaneously
displays the voltage and time difference between the cursor pair. Using the
C
Cursors
DISPLAY
menu you can also measure frequency by selecting
lIAT.
