Automated waveform measurements make it easier to obtain accurate
numerical readings.

What you need
Most scopes offer front-panel buttons and/or screen-based menus to take accurate
automated measurements.
automated measurements.
Basic choices on most scopes include amplitude, period and rise/fall time.
Many digital scopes also provide mean and RMS calculations, duty cycle, and other
maths operations.
maths operations.
Advanced mathematics functions are found on some scopes, improving the ‘time to
answer’ even further. Some examples:
- FFT, Integrate, Differentiate, Logarithm, Exponent, Square root, Absolute
- Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Radians, Degrees
- Scalars, with user-adjustable variables and results of parametric measurements.
