Making automatic measurements
Quick Meas makes automatic measurements on any channel source or any
running math function. The results of the last three measurements selected are
displayed on the dedicated line above the softkeys, or in the display area when
some menus are selected. Quick Meas also makes measurements on stopped
waveforms when you are panning and zooming.
Cursors are turned on to show the portion of the waveform being measured for
the most recently selected measurement (right-most on the measurement line).
