6 To Make Measurements

Cursor Measurement

Cursors are the horizontal and vertical marks that can be used to measure the X axis
values (usually Time) and Y axis values (usually Voltage) on a selected waveform.
Please connect the signal to the oscilloscope and obtain stable display before using
cursor measurement. All the "Auto Measure" parameters can be measured through
cursor measurement.

X Cursors

The X cursors are a vertical solid line and a vertical dotted line used for
horizontal adjustment. They can be used to measure the time (s), frequency
(Hz), phase (°) and ratio (%).
― Cursor A (X cursor) is a vertical solid line and cursor B (X cursor) is a vertical
dotted line.
― When the measurement source is MATH and the operation type of MATH is
FFT, the X cursors denote frequency.
― In X-Y cursor mode, the X cursors are used to measure the amplitude of the
waveform of CH1 or CH3.
Y Cursors

The Y cursors are a horizontal solid line and a horizontal dotted line used for
vertical adjustment. They can be used to measure the amplitude (the unit is the
same with the amplitude unit of the source channel) and ratio (%).
― Cursor A (Y cursor) is a horizontal solid line and cursor B (Y cursor) is a
horizontal dotted line.
― When the measurement source is MATH, the measurement unit
corresponds to the unit of the MATH function.
