These instruments measure the interval, pulse width etc. of signals that change over time, and allow evaluation of optical disks such as DVDs. Digital jitter meters specialize in measuring the 3T and D to C jitter of optical devices adopting the EFM modulation mode. You can display measurement results on the meter.
In addition to the standard time measurements of frequency, time interval, and count, you can measure duty ratio, peak voltage, and many other waveform parameters all in one unit.
