FUNCTION REFERENCE

TOUCH, HOLD & MEASURE ™ MODE

Description:

The TOUCH, HOLD & MEASURE.™ mode is a quick way to freeze the trace and to display four main measurements instantly. This is done by pressing the COMMAND switch on the measuring probe of the required channel.

The four measurements are: dc voltage level, peak-to-peak value, rms value, and frequency. The four values are displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

This function is a fast and easy way of troubleshooting. The COMMAND switch is always where it should be: near the place to be measured (not on the oscilloscope). This feature enables accurate signal probing and display freezing without having to reach and touch the oscilloscope control.

NOTE: The ‘PROBE SWITCH’ setting of the ‘UTILITY >> PROBE’ menu must first be set to ‘q.meas’ in order to obtain a reading on the oscilloscope when you press the COMMAND switch on the measuring probe.

Press the COMMAND switch again to go to RUN mode. TOUCH, HOLD & MEASURE ™ results are deleted from display.

Key sequence:

Toggle softkey to select the TOUCH, HOLD & MEASUREMENT ™ mode reaction of the oscilloscope on pressing the COMMAND switch on the measuring probe.

COMMAND

ST6771

COMMAND switch on the measuring probe to activate and leave the TOUCH, HOLD & MEASURE ™ mode.
