Making Measurements
Making voltage measurements automatically
Making voltage measurements automaticallyMeasurement units for each input channel can be s et to Volts or Amps using
the channel Probe Units softk ey. A s cal e uni t of U (undefined) will be displayed
for math function 1-2 and for d/dt, and ∫dt whe n 1- 2 or 1 +2 is t he s el e ct e d s o ur c e
if channel 1 and channel 2 are set to dissimilar units in the channel Probe Units
softkey.
The following figure shows the voltage measu rement points.
Math Measurements and Units
Only Peak-Peak, Maximum, Minimum, Average, X at Min, and X at Max automatic
measurements may be made on a math FFT function. See “Making time
measurements automatically” for the FFT X at Max and X at Min measurement. Use
the cursors to make other measurements on F FT. All voltage measurements ma y be
made on other math functions. The resultant units are:
FFT:
1*2:
1–2:
d/dt:
∫dt:
dB* (decibels)
V2, A2 or W (Volt-Amp)
V (Volts) or A (Amps)
V/s or A/s (V/second A/second)
Vs or As (V-seconds or A-seconds)
* When the FFT source is channel 1 or channel 2 (or channel 3 or 4 on the 54624A), FFT unit s
will be displayed in dBV when channel units is set to Volts and chan nel impedance is set to
1M
Ω. FFT units will be displayed in dBm when channel units is set to Volts and chann el
impedance is set to 50Ω (54640-series only). FFT units will be displaye d as dB for all other FFT
sources or when a source channel’s units has been set to Amps.
