Field or control Description
Measurement Interpolation Interpolation defines how the waveform is drawn between waveform record data points. Tap and select
the measurement interpolation method.
Auto selects the best interpolation method.
Sin(x)/x interpolation computes record points using a curve fit between the actual samples acquired.
Linear interpolation computes record points between actual acquired samples by using a straight line
fit.
Measurement Annotations Annotations show the exact segments of the waveform from where the chosen measurements
are taken. It is a visual aid to debug the signals. There are various markers which denote the
measurement annotations such as horizontal bars, vertical bars, triangles (or carets), or arrows.
Auto sets annotations to display if valid for the measurement. T
o view annotations for a measurement,
select that measurement badge. If annotations are valid for that measurement, they are added to the
waveform source for that measurement.
Off turns off display of measurement annotations.
The measurement annotations feature is supported on 4B/5/5B/6/6B Series MSO but not supported on
4 Series MSO.
