Peak Mode Commands
Assuming that there is an
Autoscalable pulsed signal
greater than the current trigger
level at the channel A detector
input, from initial Power-On
select:
[cw] [B]
If the Dual Channel state is being entered from some other state, use the channel A
and B keys. When both A and B keys are lit, the Dual Channel state has been
activated.
[GRAPH] [AUTOSCALE ...PEAK] [B]
This method uses the Graph Mode to ensure that the cursor is placed on the pulse
measured by channel A.
The [GRAPH] [AUTOSCALE] keystrokes can be omitted, but this method does
not guarantee that the cursor will be placed on the pulse. To find the pulse, use the
procedures outlined in Method 1 of the Peak Power Measurements in Chapter 6.
