Making The Measurement

What you want to know is how much time elapses between the time RAS goes low and the time CAS goes high again. You will use the X and O markers to quickly find the answer. Remember you specified the negative-going edge of the RAS to be your trigger point, therefore the X marker (green) should be on this edge if the X to Trig field = 0. If not, follow steps 1 and 2.

1.Touch the Trig to X field. The field will turn light blue. At this time you can either adjust the X to trigger time using the front-panel knob, or touch the field again and use the keypad to set the time to 0. Notice that this step has superimposed the X marker (green) over the trigger marker (red).

2.Touch the Trig to O field. The field will turn light blue. At this time you should use the front-panel knob to set O marker (yellow) on the positive going edge of the CAS waveform. It is possible to touch the field again and use the keypad pop-up to set the desired time, however, you do not know the time to set it to. The knob allows you to place the marker wherever you want it to be.
