Cursor Examples 163
Cursors are horizontal and vertical markers that indicate X- axis values 
and Y- axis values on a selected waveform source. You can use cursors to 
make custom voltage, time, phase, or ratio measurements on oscilloscope 
signals.
Cursor information is displayed in the right- side information area.
Cursors are not always limited to the visible display. If you set a cursor, 
then pan and zoom the waveform until the cursor is off screen, its value 
will not be changed. It will still be there when you return to its original 
location.
X Cursors X cursors are vertical dashed lines that adjust horizontally and can be 
used to measure time (s), frequency (1/s), phase (°), and ratio (%).
The X1 cursor is the short-dashed vertical line, and the X2 cursor is the 
long- dashed vertical line.
When used with the FFT math function as a source, the X cursors 
indicate frequency.
In XY horizontal mode, the X cursors display channel 1 values (Volts or 
Amps).
The X1 and X2 cursor values for the selected waveform source are 
displayed in the softkey menu area.
The difference between X1 and X2 (ΔX) and 1/ΔX are displayed in the 
Cursors box in the right- side information area.
