Add A Math, Reference, Or Bus Waveform - Tektronix MSO6 B Series Installation And Safety Manual

Add a math, reference, or bus waveform

Math waveforms let you create new waveforms based on operations between two or more waveforms or by applying equations to
waveform data. A reference waveform is a static waveform record displayed for comparison. Bus waveforms let you view and
analyze serial or parallel data.
There is no set limit to the number of Math, Reference, or Bus waveforms you can add to the Waveform View, other than system
physical memory constraints.
1. Tap the Add New Math, Add New Ref, or Add New Bus button in the Settings bar.
2. The instrument adds the waveform to the Waveform view, adds a Waveform badge to the Settings bar, and opens a
configuration menu. This example shows adding a Math waveform.
Figure 6:
3. Use the configuration menus to refine the waveform parameters. Displayed fields depend on the waveform and selections
made in the menu. Selection changes take effect immediately.
This example shows adding a Math waveform, using the Math Source fields to select Ch 1 and Ch 2 as the waveform
sources, set the math type to Basic math operation, and subtracting channel 2 from channel 1.
