Running waveform maths
Overview
The waveform math function runs mathematical
operations between CH1 and CH2 waveform, and
then shows the result in the display.
Math type
•
CH1 – CH2 (subtract CH2 from CH1)
•
CH2 – CH1 (subtract CH1 from CH2)
•
CH1 + CH2 (add CH1 and CH2)
•
CH1 * CH2 (multiply CH1 and CH2)
•
CH1 / CH2 (divide CH1 by CH2)
Panel operations
1. Make sure that both CH1 and CH2 waveforms
are shown in the display.
2. Press the MENU key and
select the WAVE MATH menu
using the Up/Down keys.
