5. If it is not already selected, press Select Measrmnt (main). The readout
for that menu item indicates which channel the measurement will be
taken from. All automated measurements are made on the selected
channel.
The Select Measurement side menu lists some of the measurements that
can be taken on waveforms. There are many different measurements
available; up to four can be taken and displayed at any one time. Press-
ing the button next to the –more– menu item brings up the other mea-
surement selections.
6. Press Frequency (side). If the Frequency menu item is not visible, press
–more– (side) repeatedly until the Frequency item appears. Then press
Frequency (side).
Observe that the frequency measurement appears within the right side of
the graticule area. The measurement readout includes the notation Ch1,
meaning that that measurement is taken on the channel 1 waveform. (To
take a measurement on another channel, select that channel, and then
select the measurement.)
7. Press Positive Width (side) –more– (side) Rise Time (side)
Positive Duty Cycle (side).
All four measurements are displayed. Right now, they cover a part of the
graticule area, including the displayed waveforms.
8. To move the measurement readouts outside the graticule area, press
CLEAR MENU (see Figure 1-17).
