(T) POWER ON and check for CHECK operation. (2) Set FUNCTION to T.l. A (3) For single-signal measurement, set the SEP./COM. A switch to COM. A with the signal of interest connected to INPUT A. (4) When two signals are to be measured, connect the start signal (the signal generated first) to INPUT A and the stop signal (the signal generated later) to INPUT B, then set the SEP./COM.
3-3-9. Masking A masking circuit triggered by the signal to be measured inhibits the signal to be measured, thus ignoring the signal o f interest for the period of masking time after being triggered by the signal. Consider measuring Tx o f the signal shown below. When MASK is OFF, Tx' is measured.
