  • Page 77: Graphing Multimeter (Gmm)

    Scope Multimeter Overview 8.1.2 Graphing Multimeter (GMM) Unlike the DMM, the graphing multimeter provides two channels for testing and plots a visual graphing line of the signal instead of displaying digital values. The GMM displays a signal’s measurements over time on a two-dimensional grid. This plotted graph is basically a graphical history (histogram) of the signal’s measurements over time.

  • Page 78: Lab Scope

    Scope Multimeter Overview 8.1.3 Lab Scope Similar to the GMM, the lab scope (oscilloscope) plots a visual image line of a signal’s measurements over time on a two-dimensional grid. The visual line that is displayed is commonly called a trace, and the graphical form created by a signal is called a waveform. Unlike the DMM, the lab scope allows you to visually see a signals waveform, which in turn allows you to see the strength and shape of the signal, as well as any noise that may be occurring on the circuit.
