Cursor Measurement
Before making cursor measurements, connect the signal to the oscilloscope and
acquire stable display. Cursor measurement can measure the X axis values (usually
Time) and Y axis values (usually Voltage) of the selected waveform. All the
parameters supported by the "Auto Measurement" function can also be measured
through cursors.
The cursor measurement function provides the following two kinds of cursors.
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, X cursor is used to measure the waveform
amplitude of CH1.
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, Y cursor is used to measure the waveform
amplitude of CH2.
Press Cursor (in the function menu on the front panel) Mode; use
the desired cursor mode (the default is "OFF") and then press down the knob. You
can also press Cursor or Mode continuously to switch the current cursor mode. The
