Measure Pop-Up Menu
WFM5200 Waveform Monitor User Manual
The Measure pop-up menu enables you to save a timing setting for comparison
with another signal and specify the zero point of the timing display.
To save the timing of the current input as an offset to the timing display, use the
Save Offset menu entry. The current timing becomes the zero point for the saved
offset mode of the timing display. This applies to both the cross-hair target in the
middle of the display and the numeric readouts.
NOTE.
You cannot save the timing offset if either the input or reference is missing
or unlocked. You also cannot save a reference when in internal mode. Saving an
offset in these conditions would lead to misleading results so it is not allowed
by the instrument. A warning message appears on the screen if you attempt to
save the offset when it is not allowed.
Save Offset allows you to measure the timing between inputs or to match multiple
signals. To select the definition for the zero timing offset, use the Relative To:
menu entry to select one of the following:
Rear Panel, which means the timing offset is shown as zero when the two
signals are timed down at the rear of the instrument.
Saved Offset, which means that the timing is shown as zero offset when the
input signal matches the timing of the signal that was present when the offset
was saved using the Save Offset menu entry.
This selection changes both the numeric readouts and the target in the middle
of the timing display.
