Math
Teledyne LeCroy offers a deep and always growing toolset of math functions.
Math functions can be applied to any channel (Cx), zoom (Zx), memory (Mx), or even other math traces
(Fx), allowing you to chain operations. For example, trace F2 can show the average of C1, while trace F3
provides the integral of F2.
In addition to the extensive math capabilities that are standard with every oscilloscope, enhanced math
analysis tools customized for various industries and applications are offered through optional software
packages. To learn about math tools available in each optional package, see the datasheets on the
Teledyne LeCroy website at teledynelecroy.com. If you have installed software options, these capabilities
are accessed through the oscilloscope Analysis menu, rather than the Math menu, although special
measure parameters and math functions will be available when using Measure and Math dialogs.
Single vs. Dual Operation Functions
Single functions perform one operation on one or two input sources.
Dual functions chain two operations to arrive at a single result. This saves you the effort of having to
chain two separate math functions together.
As with single functions, the number of sources required will vary based on the operation. You may need
only one source for Operator1, but two for Operator2 (the result of the first operation counts as one
source):
Graphing
The Graph button on the Math Function (Fx) dialogs allows you to create math functions that plot the
results of an applied measurement parameter: histogram, track, or trend. Choose the source, the
measurement parameter, and the type of plot to draw. The plots are the same as those you would create
using the shortcut buttons on the Measure Parameter (Px) dialog. See About Histograms and Track vs.
Trend.
As with other math functions, any configurable settings will appear on right-hand dialogs, after the plot
type is selected.
