MEASURE

TOUCH, HOLD & MEASURE

The probes delivered with the oscilloscope offer a unique and innovative way to perform a number of functions directly from a push button mounted on the side of the probe. One of these functions is called ’TOUCH HOLD and MEASURE ™’.

The TOUCH HOLD & MEASURE ™ function is a very quick way to instantly display the four main measurements. You need only one single push button. This push button is located nearest to the place of measurement on the probe; therefore, this button is referred to as COMMAND switch.

COMMAND

Before using the COMMAND switch on the probe, you must first adapt the instrument’ reaction to this function. This is done in the ’UTILITY >> PROBE’ menu.

The procedure to set up for TOUCH, HOLD and MEASURE ™ is:

-Press the UTILITY key.

-Press the softkey labeled ’PROBE’.

-Select ’q.meas’.

-Press the COMMAND push button on the probe.

Observe that the screen displays the signal frequency and amplitude dc voltage level (dc, pkpk, rms, and freq) measurements.

The probe COMMAND switch gives you the fastest and easiest method of trouble-shooting. You can keep your eyes on the circuit to be measured without having to move your eyes to press a push button on the scope.

NOTE: The probe COMMAND switch can also be used for other functions. Programming of other functions is done in the UTILITY menu (see section 5)
