Manual Mode

In this mode, a pair of cursors will appear. You can adjust the cursors manually to
measure the X (or Y), X increment (or Y increment) between cursors and the
reciprocal of X increment on the waveform of the selected source (CH1, CH2 or
MATH).
Press Cousor  Mode  "Manual" to turn the manual cursor function on and the
measurement results will be displayed at the upper left corner of the screen in the
following mode.
The X or Y value at cursor A (AX or AY): X value takes the trigger position as

reference and Y value takes the channel GND as reference.
The X or Y value at cursor B (BX or BY): X value takes the trigger position as

reference and Y value takes the channel GND as reference.
The horizontal or vertical difference between cursor A and B (BX-AX or BY-AY).

The reciprocal of the horizontal difference between cursor A and B (1/|dX|).

If needed, please refer to the following steps to modify the parameters of manual
cursor measurement.
1. Select Cursor Type
Press Type to select "X" or "Y". The X cursors are a vertical dotted line (cursor A)
and a vertical solid line (cursor B) and are usually used to measure time
parameters. The voltage cursors are a horizontal dotted line (cursor A) and a
horizontal solid line (cursor B) and are usually used to measure voltage
parameters.
2. Select Measurement Source
Press Source to select the waveform of the analog channels (CH1-CH4) or math
operation results (MATH) for measurement.
