Using the MultiZoom feature
Use the instrument MultiZoom feature to magnify an acquisition vertically, horizontally, or in both dimensions to let you see the
fine detail in your signals without changing the acquisition parameters (sample rate, record length, and so on). For example, to
temporarily expand the front corner of a pulse to inspect its aberrations, push the front-panel MultiZoom button to expand it
horizontally and vertically.
To help you use Mulitzoom effectively, consider how it operates on waveforms:
â–
When zooming vertically, the instrument expands up to four zoomed areas at one time. The zoomed areas can all be on the
same waveform or they can be on different Channel, Math or Reference waveforms. Each zoomed area has its own vertical
position and factor.
â–
When zooming horizontally, the Zoom Source is either the acquisition waveform or one of the zoomed areas.
â–
When zooming either horizontally or vertically, Zoom expands or contracts the waveform by the Zoom Factor.

Waveform measurement
Automatic measurements
All channel, reference, and math waveforms can serve as sources for automatic measurements. Some measurements, such as
Delay and Phase, require two sources.
NOTE. Automatic measurements are not available on digital channels.
The following automatic measurement categories are available:
â–
Amplitude
â–
Time
â–
More (miscellaneous)
â–
Histogram
â–
Communication
Click the category for a list of the measurements that you can choose from in each category.
The instrument can take and update up to eight measurements at one time. You can apply measurements to any combination of
sources. For example, you can take all eight measurements on Channel 1, or you can take measurements on a combination of
channel waveforms, math waveforms, reference waveforms, and/or histograms.
