MEAS (continued)
Meas > Freq CH2
Frequency entry for Channel 2 (if installed) operation. The procedure is the same as for Channel 1
discussed above.
Meas > Sys Tracking
When System Tracking is ―On‖, the following channel parameters are linked together such that
changing the value in any channel changes the parameter value in all of the linked channels. An

system.
Select ―Pulse Gated‖ to enable the full menu and continue with this exercise.
Trig (Statistical)
Press the Trig > Pulse Preview menu key to alternately select the full window
>Pulse Preview statistical display or a split window pulse and statistical display. Use the split window to obtain
synchronization of the pulse or burst waveform and adjust Gate 1 and Gate 2 to enclose the region
to be analyzed.
