Math Command Group

MSO2000B, DPO2000B, MSO2000 and DPO2000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer Manual
Use the commands in the Math Command Group to create and define a math
waveform. Use the available math functions to define your math waveform.
The math waveform you create depends on sources listed in the math expression.
If you change these sources, the math waveform you previously defined will be
affected.
Math expressions can be simple without any mathematical computations. For
example: CH1, which specifies that a waveform shows the signal source of
Channel 1.
The acquisition of a live waveform can stop for several reasons: You can turn
off the channel, stop the waveform, or stop the trigger. When you turn off the
channel, math continues and data is acquired but is not displayed. When you
stop either the waveform or the trigger, the math calculation stops, and the last
math calculation performed is displayed.
When a live waveform update or reference waveform is altered, math waveforms
containing those waveforms as sources are also updated to reflect the changes.
Remember that sources must exist, but do not need to be displayed, to be used in
and to update math waveforms.
