The Scope Auto Measure Menu

One of the primary features of the oscilloscope is its ability to make
parametric measurements on displayed waveforms. This section
provides details on how automatic measurements are performed and
gives some tips on how to improve automatic measurement results.
There are nine automatic measurements available in the automatic
measurement menu:
Period
Risetime
Falltime
There are two Automatic-Measurement fields. They are the Input
field and the actual automatic measurement display. These fields are
discussed in the following paragraphs.

Input field

The Input field allows you to select the source of the waveform to be
measured. When you select this field, a pop-up menu appears which shows
the input sources. Make sure the proper source is selected for the input you
are using.

Automatic measurements display

The large field in the middle row of the menu is called the automatic
measurements display. This display shows the nine automatic measurements
and their values.
See Also "Automatic Measurement Algorithms" at the end of this section for an
explanation of each of these fields.
