Measuring Pulse Width

The meter measures pulse width in the 500.00 or 1000.0 ms ranges.

To measure pulse width, set up the meter to measure frequency; then press N two more times. As with the duty cycle function, you can select which level the meter uses by pressing [ to trigger on the positive slope or ] to trigger on the negative slope. A typical pulse width display is shown in Figure 3-18.

You can improve pulse width stability by selecting the averaging feature. Press M until “AVG” appears in the display.
