Customizing measurements
Customizing measurements
After adding a measurement, you can customize the measurement for more precise results by using gating or setting reference levels.
T
o customize measurements, double-tap a Measurement badge in the Results bar to open the Measurement configuration
menu on page 111.
See the following topics for more information.
• Reference levels determine how time-related measurements are taken. See Set measurement reference levels on page 94.
• Gating confines the measurement to a certain portion of a waveform. See Set measurement gates on page 94.
Set measurement reference levels
Use this procedure to set measurement reference levels.
About this task
Reference levels are set in the Global Measurement Settings panel of the Measurements configuration menu. See Measurement
configuration menu on page 111.
Before you begin
Prerequisite: To set measurement reference levels you must be taking a measurement. See Add a measurement on page 72.
Procedure
1. Double-tap a Measurement badge.
The Measurement configuration menu is displayed.
2. Tap the Global Measurement Settings panel.
3. Tap Reference Levels and select either % or Units.
• % sets the High, Mid, and Low reference levels as percentages of the calculated High and Low signal levels. Tap the High Ref,
Mid Ref, or Low Ref fields and set the level using the assigned multipurpose knob. Or double-tap the field and use the virtual
keypad to enter a value.
• Units sets the High, Mid, and Low reference levels to specific signal levels. Tap the High Ref, Mid Ref, or Low Ref fields and set
the level using the assigned multipurpose knob. Or double-tap the field and use the virtual keypad to enter a value.
4. Tap High-Low Method and select the method.
• Auto automatically chooses the method.
• Hysteresis is best for pulses.
• Min-Max is best for all other waveforms.
5. Tap anywhere outside the Measurement configuration menu to close it.
Set measurement gates
Use this procedure to specify which portion of your waveform is used to take measurements.
About this task
Gating is set in the Global Measurement Settings panel of the Measurements configuration menu. See Measurement configuration
menu on page 111.
