5 Making Measurements

Math scale and offset

Any math function may be manually scaled by pressing the Scale or Offset softkeys and then adjusting the value.

Math Scale and Offset are Set Automatically

Any time the currently displayed math function definition is changed, the function is automatically scaled for optimum vertical scale and offset. If you manually set scale and offset for a function, select a new function, then select the original function, the original function will be automatically rescaled.

1In the Waveform Math Menu for the selected math function, press the Scale or Offset sofkeys to set your own scale factors (units/division) or offset (units) for the selected math function.

Units for each input channel can be set to Volts or Amps using the channel Probe Units softkey. Scale and offset units are:

Math function

Units

FFT

dB* (decibels)

1*2

V2, A2, or W (Volt-Amp)

1-2

V or A

d/dt

V/s or A/s (V/second or A/second)

∫ dt

Vs or As (V-seconds or A-seconds)

√ (square root)

V1/2, A1/2, or W1/2 (Volt-Amp)

*When the FFT source is channel 1, 2, 3 or 4, FFT units will be displayed in

dBV when channel units is set to Volts and channel impedance is set to

1 MΩ . FFT units will be displayed in dBm when channel units is set to Volts and channel impedance is set to 50Ω . FFT units will be displayed as dB for all other FFT sources or when a source channel’s units has been set to Amps.

A scale unit of U (undefined) will be displayed for math functions 1-2, d/dt, and √ (square root), and for ∫ dt when 1-2 or 1+2 is the selected source if channel 1 and channel 2 are set to dissimilar units in the channel Probe Units softkey.

2Press the Scale or Offset softkey, then turn the Entry knob to rescale or change the offset value for your math function.
