CSA8000B & TDS8000B User Manual 3-73
Measuring Waveforms
To assist you in analyzing the waveforms you acquire, the instrument comes
equipped with cursors and automatic measurements. This section describes these
tools and how you use them:
HTaking Automatic Measurements, on page 3--74, describes how you can set
up the instrument to automatically measure and display a variety of
waveform parameters. See Figure 3--18.
HTaking Cursor Measurements, on page 3--85, describes using cursors to make
amplitude and time measurements on waveforms. See Figure 3--18.
HOptimizing Measurement Accuracy, on page 3--92, tells you how to run
compensation routines and deskew channels to optimize the accuracy of your
measurements.
NOTE. You can also make graticule measurements, counting graticule divisions
and multiplying them by the vertical or horizontal scales set for the waveform
you are measuring.
