Ripple

Using Ripple Measurements

Background

The ripple function allows power supply ripple to

be measured with ease. The function allows

automatic vertical scaling to maximize the vertical

resolution of the measurement by isolating the AC

component from the DC waveform.

WARNING

Ensure safe working practices are adhered to when

working with live voltages. Failure to do so could

lead to electric shock or loss of life.
