4 - 56HOW TO USE THE INSTRUMENT

MATHEMATICS

MULTIPLY

You can activate a second process MATH 2. This way, two processes can run at the same time.

-Connect the Probe Adjust signal to channel 1 and channel 2 and turn on both channels.

-Press the ’MATH 2’ softkey in the MATH menu.

The menu displays the MATH 2 functions. MATH 2 offers the same functions and parameters as MATH 1.

For MATH 2 the default parameter is ’mult’.

Using ’MULT’ means that two selected traces are multiplied together and that the result is stored in ’m2’.

-Press the softkey next to MATH 2 to enter the MATH 2 submenu.

Observe that the submenu is now optimized for the multiplying process. You can select between all active traces or memory locations to be the source traces.

-Turn the TRACK control to select ch1.

-Turn the Δ control to select ch2.

-Press the ENTER softkey to return to the main menu.

-Press the softkey next to ’on off’ to turn MATH 2 on.

The multiplied trace of channel 1 and channel 2 is instantly displayed on the screen. At this time the resulting trace is stored in memory location ’m2’. One example of this process is to multiply voltage across a component and current through that component to find dissipated instantaneous power.

-Switch MATH 2 off again.
