To make automatic measurements
You can use automatic measurements on any channel source or
any running math function. Cursors are turned on to focus on
the most recently selected measurement (right-most on the
measurement line above the softkeys on the display).
1Press the Quick Meas key to display the automatic
measurement menu.
To manually control Quick Measurements on 6000L models
start the Remote Front Panel (see page 44) and select
Measure from the Main Menu or press ctrl+M to access the
oscilloscope’s Quick Measurements Menu.
2Press the Source softkey to select the channel or running
math function to be measured.
Only channels or math functions that are displayed are
available for measurements. If you choose an invalid source
channel for a measurement, the measurement will default to
the nearest in the list that makes the source valid.
If a portion of the waveform required for a measurement is
not displayed or does not display enough resolution to make
the measurement, the result will be displayed with a message
such as greater than a value, less than a value, not enough
edges, not enough amplitude, incomplete, or waveform is
clipped to indicate that the measurement may not be reliable.
3Choose a type of measurement by pressing the Select softkey,
then turn the Entry knob to select the desired
measurement from the popup list.
4Press the Measure softkey to make the selected measurement.
5To stop making measurements and erase the measurement
results from the measurement line above the softkeys, press
the Clear Meas softkey.
