5 Making Measurements
thresholds. Each analog channel and the math waveform can
be assigned unique threshold values.
3Press the Type softkey to set the measurement threshold to %
(percentage of Top and Base value) or to Absolute (absolute
value.)
•Percentage thresholds can be set from 5% to 95%.
•The units for absolute threshold for each channel is set in
the channel probe menu.
•When the Source is set to Math, the threshold Typ e can only
be set to Percent.
4Press the Lower softkey, then turn the Entry knob to set the
lower measurement threshold value.
Increasing the lower value beyond the set middle value will
automatically increase the middle value to be more than the
lower value. The default lower threshold is 10% or 800 mV.
If threshold Type is set to %, the lower threshold value can be
set from 5% to 93%.
5Press the Middle softkey, then turn the Entry knob to set the
middle measurement threshold value.
The middle value is bounded by the values set for lower and
upper thresholds. The default middle threshold is 50% or
1.20 V.

Absolute threshold hints
•Absolute thresholds are dependent on channel scaling, probe attenuation, and
probe units. Always set these values first before setting absolute thresholds.
•The minimum and maximum threshold values are limited to on-screen values.
•If any of the absolute threshold values are above or below the minimum or
maximum waveform values, the measurement may not be valid.
