CS548 - Markers

Hi, is there any possibility to measure manually with markers the frequency of some signal?
For example, we have some current ripple frequency that is hard to calculate/measure with a time base.
I see the option in the "Signal Information" tab, but how to set Markers M1 and M2?

Thanks,
Dejan

Hi Dejan,
The simplest way is to place two markers on the peaks of the signal you want to measure, and then the frequency is the inverse of the time difference. You will see this displayed as Freq: in the Tracer and Marker area above the graph.

To place markers, click somewhere on the Display to make it active.
1. Move the tracer to the point you want to place Marker 1. The tracer is the little black blob on the Tracer channel. Click Tab to move to the next Tracer channel, or click somewhere in the name box in the Axis definition above the graph. That will move the tracer to that channel.
Click either the 1 numeric key, the space bar, or double click to make a Marker.

2. Move the tracer to the second point. The tracer can be on different channels if you want.
Click either the 2 numeric key, the space bar, or double click to make the second marker.

The Tracer, and Marker positions (amplitude, time) appear in the Tracer/Marker area. The Freq, dV and dt are displayed in the next column to the right.

If you want the signal information to only show information about the segment of signal from Marker 1 to Marker 2, click the 'Between M1-->M2 markers' option on.

If you want help on the Keyboard shortcuts, use Help/About Celeverscope.

I hope this helps, Bart.

Hi Bart, Thanks for the help.

Now it is much clearer. Just one more question: how to delete/deselect markers after use?

Thanks,
Dejan

Hi Dejan,
The markers are always there somewhere. If you don't want them visible move the graph left or right, place the markers and move the graph back. You can't delete or hide them.

cheers
