Math Functions

The Math menu lets you display math functions on analog channels. You can:

•subtract (–) or multiply (*) the signals acquired on analog channels 1 and 2, then display the result.

•integrate, differentiate, perform an FFT, or the square root function on the signal acquired on any analog channel or on math functions 1 * 2, 1 – 2, or 1 + 2, then display the result.

To access math functions:

1Press the Math key on the front panel to display the Waveform Math Menu.

2Press the Function sofkey and use the Entry knob (or keep pressing the Function sofkey) to select the desired math function.

After selecting a math function, softkeys for changing that math function’s settings appear in the Waveform Math Menu.

Math Operating Hints

If the analog channel or math function is clipped (not fully displayed on screen,) the resulting displayed math function will also be clipped.

Once the function is displayed, the analog channel(s) may be turned off for better viewing.

The vertical scaling and offset of each math function can be adjusted for ease of viewing and measurement considerations.

Each function can be measured in the Cursors and Quick Meas menus.
