To Measure with Cursors
Figure 2-119 displays the Cursor button on the front-panel.
The cursor measurement has three modes: Manual, Track and Auto Measure.
1. Manual:
In this mode, the screen displays two parallel cursors. Move the cursors to make
custom voltage or time measurements of the signal. The values are displayed on
the boxes below the menu. Before using cursors, make sure to set the Signal
Source as the channel for measuring.
2. Track:
In this mode, the screen displays two cross cursors. The cross cursor sets the
position on the waveform automatically. Adjust cursor‟s horizontal position on the
waveform by rotating the multifunctional knob ( ). The oscilloscope displays the
values of the coordinates on the boxes below the menu.
3. Auto Measure:
This mode will take effect with Automatic Measurements. The instruments will
display cursors while measuring parameters automatically. These cursors
demonstrate the electrical meanings of these measurements.
Note: The Auto Measure mode for Cursor measuring will take no effect without
automatic measurements.
