Taking Automatic Measurements

The instrument automatically takes and displays waveform measurements. This
section describes how to set up the instrument to let it do the work of taking
measurements for you.
Because automatic measurements use the waveform record points, and Fast Ac-
quisitions mode (CSA7000 Series & TDS7000 Series) and Waveform Database
mode measurements use a multidimensional array of points, automatic measure-
ments are usually more accurate than cursor and graticule measurements. And
the instrument does the work, continuously taking, updating, and displaying
these measurements.
Some features of automatic measurements follow.
