2 . MEASUREMENT OF VOLTAGE BETWEEN
T W O P O I N T S ON A W A V E F O R M
( 1 )
Normal Procedures
The following describes normal procedures for meas-
uring voltage between t w o points on a waveform or
peak-to-peak voltage:
1)
Apply the signal to be measured to the INPUT con-
nector. Select the channel to be used with the V E R -
T I C A L M O D E , s e t the A C - D C s w i t c h to D C ,
deactivate the GND s w i t c h , and adjust controls for
normal sweep display. T h e n , adjust the V O L T S / D I V
and S W E E P T I M E / D I V to obtain proper waveform
display. Set the S W E E P T I M E to the C A L condition.
2)
Align one point to be measured to a horizontal
graduation line with the ? POSITION control and
bring another point within the display range of C R T .
3)
Adjust the
• POSITION to bring the latter to the
center vertical graduation line.
4)
Measure the vertical distance between the t w o
points. Multiply the distance measured above by
the V O L T S / DIV setting to gain voltage to be de-
termined. W h e n the 10:1 probe is used, also decu-
ple the voltage.

[EXAMPLE]
In the example s h o w n in Fig. 2 8 , vertical distance
between t w o points to be measured is 4 . 5 divi-
sions. If V O L T S / D I V is 0 . 2 V/div and the 1 0 : 1
probe is u s e d , the voltage to be determined is:
Voltage between t w o points =
4 . 5 (div) x 0 . 2 (V/div) x 10 = 9.0 V
(2) Cursor Measurement Procedures
1)
Display the w a v e f o r m to be measured according
to item 1) of the normal procedures above.
2)
Select a desired cursor mode of AV\ to z i V 4 ac-
cording to a channel to be used.
3)
Align the AHEF cursor to the lower point to be
measured. Align the ^ c u r s o r to the upper point.
4)
Measured value is displayed following the select-
ed cursor mode display of AV\ to z i V 4 .
