How do u measure the pulse repetition rate of any waveform or signal? How do u set up the o scope for measuring the pulse repetition rate of a signal or periodic waveform?

The term 'frequency' is not appropriate for pulse waveforms and should not be used. The term pulse repetition rate (PRR) is appropriate .

The PRR is equivalent to to the frequency in ordinary waveforms. So you measure that. Better quality counters have a setting for doing this, giving a direct readout.

There are several terms that appear in pulse waveforms that have no counterpart in ordinary waveforms. You should study up on all of these as they are all important. There was a partial list in an earlier post in this thread.

 

would be nice to know how to put my O-scope cursors at , to know where and how to make the measurement of the pulse repetition rate

Read o-scope manual?

It's known in the trade as RTFM.

 

RTFM means what?

 

Google is your friend. Try it.

 

I typed in google "Oscilloscope RTFM"

I got nothing to come up about this

 

can you please give me some examples on how to measure using an O-scope and the cursors on how to measure RTFM or PRR?

 

RTFM is a general term. Just Google "RTFM" without the quotes. It will link you to other sources that explain it better than we can.
