Measuring Waveforms
To make the best use of the TDS Oscilloscope when taking measurements, you
need to know how to use the five types, or classes, of measurements it can take.
This section describes how to take the following classes of measurements (Fig-
ure 3–54 shows four measurement classes):
H Automated for automatically taking and displaying waveform measurements
H Cursor for measuring the difference (either in time or voltage) between two
locations in a waveform record
H Graticule for making quick estimates by counting graticule divisions on
screens
H Histogram for displaying and automatically measuring how your vertical and
horizontal units vary in the histogram box
H Masks for mask counting, selecting a mask, or editing a mask
This section also tells you how to use Probe Cal, Channel/Probe Deskew, and
Signal Path Compensation to optimize the accuracy of your measurements.
