Tektronix DPO71254C Printable Help

Behavior
From this control window, you can do the following:
■
Define amplitude measurements for the selected waveforms.
■
Select a waveform source using the Channels Selector. You can measure live waveforms, math waveforms, or reference
waveforms.
■
Create a list of measurements to appear in the main graticule or in a separate measurement window.
■
Define the unique reference levels for each measurement.
■
Use gating to limit the measurements to a specific area of the waveform.
■
Set up measurement statistics.
■
Set up histograms to evaluate specific regions of the waveform.
TIP. Turn on Fast Acquisitions to enhance your measurements. In Fast Acquisitions mode, measurements are calculated on
an array of acquired waveforms.
If three or more channels are displayed, Fast Acquisitions mode is turned off, and then the requested measurements are
made. Fast Acquisitions mode is not automatically turned back on when you select fewer than three channels.
NOTE. Some measurements are less accurate using Fast Acquisitions mode, for example, timing measurements. Automatic
measurements are not available on digital channels.

Measurement readouts
An Info (information) column in the measurement readout area displays icons that indicate the status of each measurement.
When an error icon displays, the instrument also displays an error code.
For a list of instrument error codes, messages, and definitions, refer to the Programmer guide available on the product software
DVD or from www.tektronix.com/manuals.
The next table shows some of the icons with examples of their meaning.
TIP. If you hover the mouse pointer over the displayed icon, the instrument displays more specific information on the
measurement status.
