Measurement configuration
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 114.
Customize the following elements:
• Label your measurement to clarify documentation.
• Reference levels determine how time-related measurements are taken.
• Gating confines the measurement to a certain portion of a waveform.
