Oscilloscope Reference Math waveform differentiation
The math waveform, derived from the sampled waveform, is computed based on the following equation:
Yn = (X( n + 1) - Xn) 1/T
Where: X is the source waveform, Y is the derivative math waveform, and T is the time between samples.
Since the resultant math waveform is a derivative waveform (see the next figure), its vertical scale is in
volts/second (its horizontal scale is in seconds). The source signal is differentiated over its entire record
length; therefore, the math waveform record length equals that of the s ource waveform.
Cursor Measurements
You ca
nalsousecursorstomeasurederivative waveforms. Use the steps in Taking Cursor Measurements
(see page 601). When using that procedure, note that the amplitude measurements on a derivative
waveform will be in volts per second rather than in volt-seconds as is indicated for the integral waveform
measured in the procedure.
NOTE. Cursor measurements are not available on digital channels.
