Customizing measurements

After adding a measurement, you can customize the measurement for more precise results by using gating, setting reference

levels, adding a filter, limiting the results to view, or adding a label.

To customize measurements, double-tap a Measurement badge in the Results bar to open the Measurement configuration menu

overview on page 164.

See the following topics for more information.

■

Label your measurement to clarify documentation. See Label a measurement on page 135.

■

Reference levels determine how time-related measurements are taken. See Set measurement reference levels on

page 136.

■

Gating confines the measurement to a certain portion of a waveform. See Set measurement gates on page 137.

■

Filters control the band pass of a measurement. See Set measurement filters on page 137.

■

Limiting the results you can specify a minimum or maximum value. See Set measurement limits on page 138.

Label a measurement

Use this procedure to add a custom label to a measurement.

Measurement labels appear on the Measurement badge and can be added to Results tables.

Labels are set in the Measurement panel of the Measurements configuration menu. See Measurement configuration menu

overview on page 164.

Prerequisite: To set measurement reference levels you must be taking a measurement. See Add a measurement on page 94.

1. Double-tap a Measurement badge in the Results bar to open the Measurement configuration menu.

2. Tap the Configure panel.

3. Use one of the following methods to enter label text:

■

Tap the Label field and enter the label text using a keyboard and press the keyboard Enter key to add the label text to

the Measurement badge.

■

Double-tap the Label field and enter the label text using the virtual keyboard, then tap the Enter button to add the label

text to the Measurement badge. Tap outside the virtual keyboard to close it.

NOTE. The new label text replaces the default measurement name on the Measurement badge that shows the

measurement type (Frequency, Peak-to-Peak, and so on). To view the measurement type for a relabeled measurement,

double-tap the Measurement badge and look at the topmost panel name, which has the measurement name.

Custom measurement labels can be added to a Results table.

4. Tap anywhere outside the Measurement menu to close it.
