Using Markers - Agilent Technologies 90000 X Series User Manual

The action taken when the [Multi Purpose] key is pressed depends on the
feature selected in the Customize Multipurpose dialog box. The default
feature is QuickMeas (quick measurements).
• To turn on the quick measurement display, press the [Multi Purpose] key.
• To measure parameters for another waveform, press the [Multi Purpose]
• To turn off the quick measurement display, press and release the
See the Infiniium oscilloscope application's online help for information on
how to configure the quick measurement capability, using the Customize
Measurement feature of the graphical interface.

Using markers

Markers make it easier to make precise measurements because the marker
measurement readouts show exact voltage and time positions for the
markers. The measurements are based on actual waveform data from the
acquisition system, not on approximations based on the display position,
so you can be sure the values are highly accurate.
Using the marker and measurement controls, you control two sets of
markers within the oscilloscope graticule. You use markers to make more
accurate measurements of waveform events than you could make visually.
Both time and voltage differences between the markers are updated
continuously on the screen. By default, the markers track the source
waveform. Voltage measurements from the markers are the value of the
waveform at the time set with the marker arrow keys.
• To select the type of marker mode you want to use, press the [Markers]
• To turn on Marker A, push the Position knob until the marker you want
