Measure jitter on Oscilloscope

(1/1)

BaNaN85:
Hi,

I need help with finding out a program function for measuring pulse jitter using a Rigol DHO800/900 series scope.
And present it with a measurement value of some sort, that the SCPI  programming can spit out to the computer.

The measurement I wanna do is quite simple to do manually in persistence mode.
Checking pulse jitter of a positive signal CH1 compared to Trigger signal CH4 generated from a trigg generator. (5V pulse trig signal, 100hz)
The jitter I expect is somewhere around 5ns.

I would like to have it presented like a standard deviation, just a value I could print out.


If the DHO800/900 can't do it, I might need another scope that can.

Best regard

Bud:
Before doing any of that you must know the jitter of your oscilloscope , and it has to be better than the estimated jitter of the test device, otherwise what you will measure may be misleading, i.e. instead of measuring jitter of the test device you will be measuring jitter of your oscilloscope, depending whose jitter is better.
