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.

 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 to select

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
