Square root () calculates the square root of the selected source.
1 Press the [Math] key, press the press the Function softkey and select f(t), press the
Operator softkey and select (square root). Press the Source 1, Scale, or Offset
sofkeys if you want to change the source, scaling, or offset for the square root
function.
Source 1 — selects the source for (square root). (See
•
about using g(t) as the source.)
Scale — lets you set your own vertical scale factors for (square root) expressed

as V
/div (Volts-square-root/division), A
1/2
W
/div (Watts-square-root/division or Volt-Amps-square-root/division). Units
are set in the channel Probe Menu. Press the Scale softkey, then turn the Entry
knob to rescale (square root).
•
Offset — lets you set your own offset for the multiply math function. The offset
1/2
value is in V
(Volts-square-root), A
(Watts-square-root) and is represented by the center horizontal grid line of the
display. Press the Offset softkey, then turn the Entry knob to change the offset for
(square root).
A scale unit of U (undefined) will be displayed for scale and offset if the two source
channels are set to dissimilar units. Units are set using the channel's Probe Units
softkey.
