Using the CX3300
Making a Measurement and Using Useful Tools
Using Markers
The CX3300 supports the following markers.
• Cross hair marker
Reads X and Y measurement data (X, Y) on a waveform and displays the 
values X and Y in the Marker data view below the Main Waveform. If the 
marker mode is set to Manual (this is as same as removing the check from 
Track on the context menu opened by right-clicking o
n the marker), the 
marker reads X and Y values of the specified point on the graph.
• A-B marker
Reads X and Y measurement data (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) on a waveform and 
displays the values X1, X2, Y1, Y2, X2-X1, Y2-Y1, and 1/(X2-X1) in the Marker 
data view. If the marker mode is set to Manual, the A-B marker reads X and Y 
values of the specified points on the graph.
• Area marker
Obtains the integration 
value and the average value of the data within the 
specified area on a waveform and displays the Area data view below the Main 
Waveform.
The Area data view shows Area (integration value), Average, Max, Min, P-P 
(peak-to-peak), RMS (root mean square), Count, Start (area minimum time), 
Stop (area maximum time), and Baseline (integration baseline).
Marker can be activated from the Display tool palette.
 To display a maker, drag 
and drop a marker icon on a waveform.
The Display tool palette provides the following icons used for displaying markers 
and annotations and for changing the plot appearance.
• Markers  Cross, A-B, Area, Area (+width), Area (-width), Area (Period), and 
OFF
• Annotations  Display and Waveform
• Persistence  Normal, Infinity, 10 s, etc.
• Plot  Auto, Dots, Lines, Area, Gradation, and Diamonds
• Axis  Auto, Linear, Log, Invert, X1 and Y1, Show All, etc.
• Waveform Memories  Memory 1 to Memory 8
