reaK-io-reaK amplitude measurement—mu
(Figure 13)
Use the following procedures for peak-to-peak
amplitude measurements:
1. Apply the signal to be measured to either vertical
input connector. Set the Vertical Mode to the channel to
be used.
2. Set SEC/DIV to display several cycles of wave
form. Adjust triggering controls for a stable display.
3. Set VOLTS/DIV switch to display about three verti
cal divisions of waveform. Confirm that the CAL (Variable)
control is in the detent position.
FORMU LA:
4. Adjust vertical POSITION so that the lower portion
of the waveform coincides with a horizontal graticule line
and that display remains within the viewing area.

5. Horizontally position the display so that one of the
peaks coincides with the center vertical graticule line.

6. Measure the peak-to-peak amplitude of the signal by
multiplying vertical deflection (in divisions) by the VOLTS/
DIV settings.
