Time Relationships

January 11, 2011

Our Time Relationship Table is most useful for technicians getting started with a labscope. Establishing an appropriate time/division can be confusing. To reduce uncertainty it is useful to know the normal time duration of the pulses that are being evaluated. Then, select a time per division setting that will accommodate the number of pulses desired on the display screen. To accomplish a proper scope control setting the relationship of milliseconds to microseconds as well as their fraction of a second is very useful.
