Control Fields for Analog Measurements

Detector

This setting selects the type of detector used when measuring and displaying AF signal levels.

Detector Types

•RMS displays the root mean square (rms) value of signals.

•RMS*SQRT2 displays the rms value of a signal multiplied by the square root of 2.

•Pk+ displays the positive peak value.

•Pk − displays the negative peak value.

•Pk± / 2 adds the positive and negative peak values, and divides the sum by 2.

•Pk± Max compares the positive and negative peaks and displays the greater value (polarity is not indicated).

•Pk+ Hold displays and holds the positive peak value until the measurement is reset. To reset, use Meas Reset (press and release the Shift key, then the Hold key), select a different detector, or re-select the same detector.

•Pk − Hold displays and holds the negative peak value until the measurement is reset. To reset, use Meas Reset (press and release the Shift key, then the Hold key), select a different detector, or re-select the same detector.

•Pk±/2 Hold divides the sum of the positive and negative peak values by 2, and displays the value until the measurement is reset. To reset, use Meas Reset (press and release the Shift key, then the Hold key), select a different detector, or re-select the same detector.

•Pk± Mx Hold compares the positive and negative peaks and displays the greater value until the measurement is reset. To reset, use Meas Reset (press and release the Shift key, then the Hold key), select a different detector, or re-select the same detector.
