Making the Waveform (Time Domain) Measurement

 

In the Waveform measurement, the Mean Pwr (Entire Trace) value

NOTE

 

plus the Pk-to-Meanvalue will sum to equal the current Max Pt. value

 

as shown in the data window below the RF Envelope display. If you do a

 

marker peak search (Search) with averaging turned off, the marker will

 

find the same maximum point. However, if you turn averaging on, the

 

Pk-to-Meanvalue will use the highest peak found for any acquisition

 

during averaging, while the marker peak will look for the peak of the

 

display, which is the result of n-averages. This will usually result in

 

differing values for the maximum point.

 

Troubleshooting Hints

 

Changes made to advanced waveform settings can inadvertently result

 

in measurements that are invalid and cause error messages to appear.

 

Care needs to be taken when using advanced features, as some settings

 

may incorrectly appear to provide a valid result. Press Meas Setup, More,

 

Restore Meas Defaults to return measurement settings to a known state,

 

then vary settings only as necessary.
