To Make Cursor Measurement

Cursors are the horizontal and vertical marks that can be used to measure the X axis
values and Y axis values on a selected waveform. All the 29 waveform parameters
(please refer to Table 6-5) supported by one-key measurement can be measured
through cursor measurement. The cursor measurement function provides the
following two kinds of cursors.
Note: Please connect the signal to the oscilloscope and obtain stable display before
using cursor measurement.
Y Cursor
(Cursor A)
Y Cursor
(Cursor B)
X Cursor

X cursor is a vertical solid/dotted line used to perform horizontal adjustment. It
can be used to measure time (s), frequency (Hz), phase (°) and ratio (%).
― Cursor A is a vertical solid line and cursor B is a vertical dotted line.
― In the X-Y cursor mode, the X cursor is used to measure the waveform
amplitude of CH1 or CH3.
Y Cursor

Y cursor is a horizontal solid/dotted line used to perform vertical adjustment. It
can be used to measure amplitude (the unit is the same as that of the source
channel amplitude) and ratio (%).
― Cursor A is a horizontal solid line and cursor B is a horizontal dotted line.
― In the X-Y cursor mode, the Y cursor is used to measure the waveform
amplitude of CH2 or CH4.
Press Cursor (in the function menu at the front panel)  Mode, turn the
multi-function knob
then press the knob. You can also press Cursor or Mode continuously to switch the
