Sources. Math Waveforms can incorporate the following sources:
H Channel waveforms
H Reference waveforms
H Measurements (automated measurements) that measure channel, reference,
histogram, or math waveforms
H Math waveforms
Source Dependencies. Math waveforms that include sources as operands are
affected by updates to those sources:
H Shifts in amplitude or DC level of input sources that cause the source to clip
also clips the waveform data supplied to the math waveform.
H Changes to the vertical offset setting for a channel source that clips its data
also clips the waveform data supplied to the math waveform.
H Changes to the acquisition mode globally affects all input channel sources,
thereby modifying any math waveforms using them. For example, with the
acquisition mode set to Envelope, a Ch1 + Ch2 math waveform will receive
enveloped channel 1 and channel 2 data and, therefore, will also be an
envelope waveform.
