X-Cursor Measurement
The X- cursor measurement places two vertical lines across the displayed 
waveform to measure values (in volts or amperes) and time relative to the 
trigger point. You can select cursor’s mode to be in either single cursor 
line X1 or X2, or combination of X1 and X2 cursor lines. The selected 
cursor line is displayed as a long- dashed vertical line while the 
non- selected cursor line is displayed as a short- dashed vertical line. 
The delta of the X1 and X2  (D)  are displayed at the top right of the 
waveform display area. The instructions below will guide you through the 
steps of setting up the X- cursor measurement:
1 On the X- cursor menu page, press F2 to select cursor mode to be either 
single X1 or X2 cursor line, or the combination of X1 and X2 cursor 
lines from a pull- up menu.
2 Turn the rotary switch to adjust the X1 and X2 cursor lines. If both 
cursor lines are selected, both lines move in parallel with the same 
delta X- cursor value.
3 Press F3 to display the pull- up menu to select the channel source to be 
measured. 
4 In Figure 3- 30, two cursor lines — X1 and X2 mode — are selected, 
where measurement is made for the signal at channel 1.
The X1 measurement is +16.00 mV at +500.0 
µs.
The X2 measurement is –8.000 mV at –1.000 ms. 
The delta of X1 and X2 voltage measurement is +24.00 mV with time 
relative difference of +1.500 ms.
