5.15Signal rulers

The signal rulers are to help you measure signal levels with respect to ground, or signal differences, on a scope view 14.

In the scope view 14 above, the two coloured squares to the left of the vertical axis are the ruler drag-handles. You can drag these from the top-left corner to the positions you want to measure on the waveform. The two horizontal dashed lines are the signal rulers.

Ruler legend

The table at the top of the view is the ruler legend. In this example, the table shows that ruler 1 is at 807 millivolts, ruler 2 is at -811.0 millivolts and the difference between them is -1.618 volts. If you prefer to see the difference as a positive value, swap the positions of the two rulers by dragging them.

Ruler tooltip

If you move the mouse pointer over one of the rulers, PicoScope displays a tooltip 68 with the ruler number and the signal level of the ruler. You can see an example of this in the picture above.
