Section 2: General operation
Current Waveform Quick Setup
The Current Waveform Quick Setup helps you set up Digitize Current measurements and displays
the results on the Graph screen.
You are prompted to set the sample rate, count, and signal amplitude when you select the Current
Waveform Quick Setup. The instrument is reset before these settings are applied. The instrument
also verifies whether the front or rear terminals are selected. If the front terminals are selected, signal
amplitude is limited to 3 A; if the rear terminal is selected, amplitude is limited to 10 A.
The sample rate defines the precise acquisition rate at which the digitizing measurements are made.
The count sets the number of measurements to digitize when a measurement is requested.
The signal amplitude allows the instrument to select a fixed range that is large enough to measure
your signal.
When the settings are complete, the Graph screen is displayed with the measure results.
Interval Measure Quick Setup
The Interval Measure Quick Setup helps you set up measurements that occur at precisely timed
intervals. The settings you make depend on whether you are using a measure function or a digitize
function.
When you run this Quick Setup for a measure function, the instrument:
•
Is reset
•
Prompts you to select a function
•
Prompts you for the interval time
•
Prompts you for the number of readings (count)
•
Sets up the trigger timer and trigger model
•
Initiates the trigger model
•
Displays measurements on the Home screen and stores them in defbuffer1
When you run this Quick Setup for a digitize function, the instrument:
•
Is reset
•
Prompts you for the interval (sample rate)
•
Prompts you for the number of readings (count)
•
Sets up a trigger model
•
Initiates the trigger model
•
Displays the measurements on the Home screen and stores them in defbuffer1
