Measure System
The oscilloscope displays the voltage in relation to time and test the
waveform displayed. There are scale, cursor, and auto measure modes.
Scale Measurement
This method allows you to make a quick visual estimate. For example, you
might look at waveform amplitude and determine that it is a little more than
100 mV. You can take simple measurements by counting the major and
minor graticule divisions involved and multiplying by the scale factor. For
example, if you counted five major vertical graticule divisions between
minimum and maximum values of a waveform and knew you had a scale
factor of 100 mV/div, then you could easily calculate your peak-to-peak
voltage as follows:
5 divisions x 100 mV/div = 500 mV
Cursor Measurement
The cursor measurement has three modes: Manual, Track, and Auto
Measure.
