    6. Using Cursors to Measure Time and Amplitude(1/2) Cursors enable quick visual measurements on the selected waveform. The TBS2000B features on- waveform readouts to make it easy to visualize measurements. Press Default Setup. Press Autoset. Figure 10. Location of the Cursors and Fine Press the Cursors button beside the MPK buttons (two-channel model shown) (Figure 10).
  • Page 17 6. Using Cursors to Measure Time and Amplitude(2/2) Cursors enable quick visual measurements on the selected waveform. The TBS2000B features on- waveform readouts to make it easy to visualize measurements. Note the delta time readout between the cursors and the time position for each bar. Press MPK again to change control to the upper cursor for amplitude measurements.

  • Page 18: Making Automated Measurments

    7. Making Automated Measurements (1/2) Automated measurements use the processing power of the scope to provide a frequency, time, amplitude, and area measurements. Connect passive probes to Channel 1 and Channel 2. Connect both probe tips to Probe Comp and both ground clips to Probe Comp ground.
  • Page 19 7. Making Automated Measurements (2/2) Automated measurements use the processing power of the scope to provide a frequency, time, amplitude, and area measurements. Press the CH1 bezel button. Scroll and press MPK to select Frequency and +Duty for Channel 1. Press the CH2 bezel button.
