Command Groups
Math Command Group
Use the commands in the Math Command Group to create and define a math
waveform. Use the available math functions to define your math waveform.
The math waveform you create depends on sources listed in the math expression.
If you change these sources, the math waveform you previously defined will be
affected.
Math expressions can be simple, containing no mathematical computation, such
as CH1, which specifies that a waveform shows the signal source of Channel 1.
Math expressions can also be complex, consisting of up to 128 characters and
comprising many sources, functions, and operands.
When a live waveform is updated or a reference waveform is altered, math
waveforms containing those waveforms as sources are also updated to reflect the
changes. Remember that sources must exist, but do not need to be displayed, to be
used in and to update math waveforms.
