Jitter-oscilloscope limitation.
The amount of jitter
present in the oscilloscope must be taken into account
when duration and period jitter are measured. Typical
. .
jitter for most delaying sweep oscilloscopes is 0.02%
of the amount of delay. T o determine a c t u a l jitter, con-
nect
a
s t a b l e time-mark signal t o the oscilloscope,
set
the oscilloscope for the amount of delay required,
and measure any jitter that may be present. If the time-
mark signal i s s t a b l e , any jitter present i s due to the
oscilloscope.
