Making A Measurement On A Waveform - Keysight CX3300 Series User Manual

Making a Measurement on a Waveform

Measurement can be activated from the Measurement tool palette. To make a
measurement, drag and drop a measurement icon on the waveform event you
want to measure. Double-clicking the icon can substitute for this drag and drop
operation.
For example, drag and drop the Period icon on the waveform as shown above.
The period of the wave is measured by using the data closest to the point where
you drop the icon. The measurement value is displayed in the Measurement data
view which appears below the Main Waveform as shown in
The Measurement data view shows the latest value (Latest), the mean value
(Mean), the maximum value (Max), the minimum value (Min), the Max-Min value
(Range), the standard deviation (Std Dev.), the data count (Count), and the
waveform acquisition start and stop positions (Start and Stop).
The Measurement tool palette provides several icons used for measuring the
following parameters and so on.

When you drag an icon on a waveform, the icon outline changes color to match
the color of the waveform it touches so you can easily see which waveform is
target.
You can also use the Analysis dialog box (Analysis > Measurements) to make a
measurement. The dialog box is opened by clicking the Analysis icon on the
sidebar. You can specify the position of measurement. Initially, it is the timebase
(0 second) position.
