Appendix B: Automatic Measurements Reference

This reference describes the automatic measurement system of this instrument.
Automatic measurements support Pulse, Return-to-Zero (RZ), and Non-Return-
to-Zero (NRZ) signals, providing measurements in three categories, Amplitude,
Timing, and Area.

This reference gathers reference information for automatic measurements.
Specifically, it lists:

H A definition for each auto-measurement type (for example, risetime, period,

and suppression ratio), organized according to the signal measured (Pulse,
Return-to-Zero eye pattern, or Non-Return-to-Zero eye pattern):

H Pulse signals -- see Pulse Measurements on page B--2.

H Return-to-Zero eye patterns -- see RZ Measurements on page B--15.

H Non-Return-to-Zero eye patterns -- see RZ Measurements on page B--37.

H Descriptions of the reference parameters (levels and crossings) that the

automatic measurement system uses when taking automatic measurements.
See Measurement Reference Parameters and Methods on page B--56.

H Descriptions of the methods for tracking the High and Low values that the

automatic measurement system uses when in taking automatic measure-
ments. See High/Low Tracking Method on page 3--77.

To learn about the controls that set up the automatic measurements, see the
Tracking Methods section on page B--66 or Measurement Setup dialog box topic
in the online help system.
