2.10.2. Cursor measurement
Cursor: This method allows you to take measurements by moving the cursors. Cursors always appear in
pairs and the displayed readouts are just their measured values. There are two kinds of cursors:
Amplitude Cursor and Time Cursor.
The amplitude cursor appears as a horizontal dotted line, measuring the vertical parameters.
The time cursor appears as a vertical dotted line, measuring the horizontal parameters.
The cursor measurement includes two modes: Manual mode and Tracking mode.
1. Manual mode:
Horizontal cursors or vertical cursors appear in pair to measure time or voltage, and the distance
between the cursors can be manually regulated. The signal source should be set as a waveform to be
measured before the cursors are used.
2. Tracking mode:
A horizontal cursor is intersected with a vertical cursor to form a cross cursor. The cross cursor is
automatically located on the waveform, and the horizontal position of the cross cursor on the
waveform is regulated by selecting “Cur A” or “Cur B” and rotating the [UNIVERSAL] knob. The
coordinates of the cursor point will be displayed on the screen of the oscilloscope.
Push the CURSOR button to display the Cursor Menu.
A selected cursor is highlighted, which can be moved freely. Both cursors
can be selected and moved at the same time. The box behind the cursor
displays the location of the cursor.
Moving Cursors: Press the key near Select Cursor to select a cursor and turn Multifunctional Knob to
move it. Cursors can be moved only when the Cursor Menu is displayed.
