Using This Chapter
This chapter contains the following example procedures for making measurements. Mixer
and time domain measurements are covered in Chapter 2 , "Making Mixer Measurements
(Option 089 Only)" and Chapter 3 , “Making Time Domain Measurements.” This chapter
also describes how to use most display, marker, and sequencing functions.
