Cursors

86
Use Magnification with the WFM, VECTOR, and Bowtie displays.
Select a trace display.
Press and hold the MAG button to display the Magnification pop-up menu.
Select a magnification setting, such as Best View, x10, x20, x25, or x30. In
the Vector displays, the magnification is called H Gain (horizontal gain). The
available options depend on which display is active.
After you have set up Magnification parameters, you only need to press the MAG
button once to activate Magnification. Press it again to remove Magnification.
Cursors enable you to measure time or voltage on a waveform. Cursors appear
only in a tile set to Waveform mode. If the active tile is not in Waveform mode,
then an error message is displayed.
Display and adjust the cursors as follows:
1. Choose a tile that is currently displaying a waveform.
2. Press and hold the CURSOR button to display the cursor menu and then
select the cursor style you want: Voltage, Time, or Voltage + Time. (After
the cursors are activated and the pop-up menu is closed, pushing CURSOR
again turns the cursors off.)
3. Push the arrow keys to select the active cursor:
If Voltage or Time cursors are displayed, press any arrow key to activate
a cursor.
If Voltage + Time cursors are both displayed, press either the up or down
arrow key to select between voltage cursors. Press either the left or right
arrow key to select between the time cursors.
4. Turn the GENERAL knob to adjust the selected cursor on the waveform. The
active cursor readout appears in yellow with a knob icon.
NOTE.
To quickly center the active cursor on screen, press and hold the SEL
button.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to adjust the other cursor.
