Using Waveform Math Functions
When adding, subtracting, or multiplying the input A and 
input B waveform, the test tool will display the 
mathematical result waveform and the input A and input B 
waveforms.
A versus B provides a plot with input A on the vertical axis 
and input B on the horizontal axis.
The math functions perform a point-to-point operation on 
waveforms A and B.
To use a math function, do the following:

The sensitivity range of the mathematical result is equal to 
the sensitivity range of the least sensitive input divided by 
the scale factor.
Jump to Waveform: and Select
Mathematics... to open the 
Mathematics menu.
Select Function: A+B, A-B, AxB or 
A vs B.
Select a scale factor (not for A vs B) 
to fit the mathematical result 
waveform onto the display, and 
return.
 

Cursor Measurement Readings On Math 
Waveforms
Cursor measurements on a A*B Math waveform gives a 
reading in Watts if input A measures (milli)Volts and input 
B measures (milli)Amperes.
For other cursor measurements on a Math waveform 
amplitude no reading will be available if the input A and 
input B measurement unit are different.
Making Rise Time Measurements
To measure rise time, do the following:
1
From scope mode, display the 
cursor key labels.

6
The reading shows the rise time from 10%-90% of the 
trace amplitude.
Move the upper cursor to 100% of 
the trace height. 
A marker is shown at 90%.
Highlight the other cursor.
Move the lower cursor to 0% of the 
signal height. A marker is shown 
at 10%.

3
Press to highlight  (rise time). 
Observe that two horizontal 
cursors are displayed.
If only one trace is displayed, 
select MANUAL or AUTO (this 
automatically does the steps 4 to
6).
For multiple traces select the 
required trace A, B, or M (if a Math 
function is active).
