How to use rulers to measure a signal
Using a single ruler for signal-to-ground measurements
Look at the Channels toolbar to find the colour code for the channel you wish
to measure:
Find the ruler handle (the small coloured square in the top-left or top-right corner
of the scope view ) of this colour:
Drag the ruler handle downwards. A signal ruler (horizontal broken line) will
appear across the scope view. Release the ruler handle when the ruler is where
you want it.
Look at the ruler legend (the small table that appears on the scope view). It
should have a row marked by a small coloured square matching the colour of your
ruler handle. The first column shows the signal level of the ruler.
Using two rulers for differential measurements
Follow the steps above for "using a single ruler".
Drag the second ruler handle of the same colour downwards until its ruler is at the
signal level to be measured.
Look at the ruler legend again. The second column now shows the signal level of
the second ruler, and the third column shows the difference between the two rulers.
