For each input value, point by point, this math operator takes the square root of the source and places the result in the function waveform. For example, a 10 mV input voltage point results in a 100 mV½; output point. The output units are not V or W. Instead, they are V½; or W½;, which are identified on screen as V½; or W½;. The scale of the output waveform does not track the input waveform.

The Square Root operator is not available in Jitter or TDR/TDT modes.

The operator's Display Setup configures the manner in which the resulting waveform is displayed including both vertical and horizontal scaling. Track selection to allows the output waveform to track changes to the scaling of the input waveform. Track is the default setting. In addition, you can turn the waveform's display off or on and select the color of the trace.

Use the Name button to give the displayed waveform a custom identifying name which is show in the Signals area on the display graticule and in the Signals palette. Custom names are very helpful for screen captures or when multiple waveforms are displayed.

The Graph Window is available when multiple waveform content windows are used.

Use the Signal Type's Track selection to allows the waveform type (NRZ or PAM4) to track the input waveform's type. Track is the default setting. If input waveform's type cannot be automatically determined, select Manual to specify the waveform type.
