voltage measurement.  One time measurement mode, for example,  
shows the time delay between the rising pulse edge on input A  
shows the time delay between the rising pulse edge on input A  
and the falling pulse edge on input B.  This is useful for measuing
and the falling pulse edge on input B.  This is useful for measuring
the speed of a logic gate such as an inverter.  One of the voltage
