Front-Panel Overview

To make automatic measurements

You can use automatic measurements on any channel source or any running

math function. Cursors are turned on to focus on the most recently selected

measurement (right-most on the measurement line above the softkeys on the

display).

1Press the Quick Meas key to display the automatic measurement menu.

2Press the

Source softkey to select the channel or running math function

on which the quick measurements will be made.

Only channels or math functions that are displayed are available for

measurements. If you choose an invalid source channel for a measurement, the

measurement will default to the nearest in the list that makes the source valid.

If a portion of the waveform required for a measurement is not displayed or does

not display enough resolution to make the measurement, the result will be

displayed with a message such as greater than a value, less than a value, not

enough edges, not enough amplitude, incomplete, or waveform is clipped to

indicate that the measurement may not be reliable.

3Press the Clear Meas softkey to stop making measurements and to erase

the measurement results from the measurement line above the

softkeys.

When Quick Meas is pressed again, the default measurements on an analog

channel will be will be Frequency and Peak-Peak.

4 Choose what measurement you want on that source by pressing the

Select softkey, then turn the Entry knob to select the desired

measurement from the popup list.

5Press the Measure softkey to make the selected measurement.

6To turn off

Quick Meas, press the Quick Meas key again until it is not

illuminated.
