Creating Math Waveforms
CSA8000B & TDS8000B User Manual

The key points that follow describe considerations for creating math waveforms
that best supports your data-analysis tasks.
How to Create. You create math waveforms when you create a math expression.
You do so by applying numerical constants, math operators, and functions to
operands, which can be channel, waveforms, reference waveforms, measure-
ments (scalars), or fixed scalars. You can display and manipulate these derived
math waveforms much like you can the channel and reference waveforms (see
Operations on Math Waveforms on page 3--107).
Some examples of typical math waveforms follow.

Sources. Math Waveforms can incorporate the following sources:
H Channel waveforms
H Reference waveforms
H Measurement scalars (automated measurements) that measure channel or
reference waveforms in any time base
H Fixed scalars that you enter as numerical constants in expressions
