Oscilloscopes: Time Measurements
From bkprecision.com

This is the procedure for making time (period) measurements between two points on a waveform. The two points may be the beginning and ending of one complete cycle if desired.

1. Connect the signal to be measured to the input connector and set the oscilloscope to display the channel to be used. Set the Volts/Div and Time/Div controls to obtain a normal display of the waveform to be measured. Be sure the variable time base control is set to the calibrated position.

2. Using the vertical position control, set one of the points to be used as a reference to coincide with the horizontal center line. Use the horizontal position control to set this point at the intersection of any vertical graduation line.

 


Products & Services
Oscilloscopes translate an electronic signal into a pattern or waveform on a screen. As it is traced across the screen, the waveform creates a signature of the signal's characteristics.
Computer-based instruments are part of a computer (a board, for example), or need to be connected to a computer in order to measure and display data.
Web accumulators and coil accumulators are used to control the tension of materials in continuous manufacturing processes.
Multi-screen display controllers are used to control and project multiple images on the same screen.
Calipers typically use a precise slide movement for inside, outside, depth or step measurements. Some caliper types are used for comparing or transferring dimensions.
