Key Points
Choosing Measurements. You can perform up to four automatic measurements
and display them along the right side of the graticule. All four measurements
can apply to a single channel or you can spread the measurements over several
channels. You can also take measurements on math and reference waveforms.
First push a channel, Math, or Ref button to select the waveform you want to
measure and then select a measurement. (See page 82, Automatic Measurements.)
