Math
Math traces (Fx) display the result of applying a mathematical operation to a source trace. The
output of a math function is always another trace, whereas the output of a measurement parameter is
a tabular readout of the measurement.
Math can be applied to any channel (Cx), zoom (Zx), or memory (Mx) trace. It can even be applied to
another math trace, allowing you to chain operations (for example, trace F1 can show the average of
C1, while trace F2 provides the integral of F1). Functions such as Trend can be applied to
measurement parameters (Px) to plot the history of the measurement.
In addition to the extensive math capabilities that are standard with every instrument, enhanced math
analysis tools customized for various industries and applications are offered through optional
software packages. To learn about math tools available in each optional package, see the product
datasheets at teledynelecroy.com.
If you have installed software options, the new capabilities are usually accessed through the Analysis
menu, rather than the Math menu, although special measure parameters and math functions will be
available when using Measure and Math dialogs.
