These are described in more detail in the WaveSurfer 10 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual.

  • Page 32: Measurements & Statistics

    BASICS Measurements & Statistics Measurements are waveform parameters that can be expressed as numerical values, such as amplitude or frequency. You can set up to six simultaneous measurements on one or more traces and view the active readout in a table. You can also gate measurements to limit them to a specific portion of the trace, or add statistical measurements to the readout.

  • Page 33: Math

    Math Math traces display the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g., FFT) to one or more traces. One important distinction between math functions and measurement parameters is that the result of math is always another waveform trace, whereas the result of measurement is a number. Press front panel Math button or choose Math >...

    BASICS LabNotebook The integrated LabNotebook tool lets you build reports containing waveform images and custom annotations right on the oscilloscope. You create individual Notebook Entries as you work, which are saved in a resident database. When you choose File > LabNotebook, the LabNotebook dialog opens showing all your Notebook Entries, where they can be further annotated and exported into different report formats.

  • Page 37: Wavescan

    WaveScan ® WaveScan Search and Find enables you to search for unusual events in a single capture, or to scan for a particular event in many acquisitions over a long period of time. A predefined set of scan modes (similar to trigger setups), easily customized, enable a quick search for events of interest. The results are time stamped, tabulated, and can be selected for individual viewing.
