RIGOL Chapter 6 MATH and Measurement
6-36 DS1000Z-E User Guide
BY: the Y value at cursor B. Y value takes the channel GND of CH1 as reference.
Its unit is the same as that of the current signal source.
BX-AX: the horizontal difference between cursors A and B.
BY-AY: the vertical difference between cursors A and B.
|dX|: when the horizontal unit is set to "s", |dX| represents the time difference
between cursor A and cursor B; when the horizontal unit is set to "Hz", |dX|
represents the frequency difference between cursor A and cursor B.
1/|dX|: the frequency difference between cursor A and cursor B.
If needed, please refer to the following steps to modify the parameters of manual
cursor measurement.
1. Select Cursor Type
Press Select to select " " or " ".
: the X cursors are a pair of vertical solid (cursor A)/dotted (cursor B)
lines and are usually used to measure time parameters.
: the Y cursors are a pair of horizontal solid (cursor A)/dotted
(cursor B) lines and are usually used to measure voltage parameters.
2. Select Measurement Source
Press Source to select the waveform of the analog channels (CH1 and CH2),
math operation results (MATH) waveform for measurement.
Note: Only channel currently enabled can be selected.
3. Adjust Cursor Position
Adjust cursorA: press CursorA and use to adjust the position of
cursorA. The measurement result will change accordingly during the
adjustment and the adjustable range is limited within the screen.
Adjust cursorB: press CursorB and use to adjust the position of
cursorB. The measurement result will change accordingly during the
adjustment and the adjustable range is limited within the screen.
Adjust cursorA and cursorB at the same time: press CursorAB and use
to adjust the positions of cursorA and cursorB at the same time. The
measurement result will change accordingly during the adjustment and the
adjustable range is limited within the screen.
Note: You can also press down knob continuously to switch the current
cursor.
4. Select X (Y) Axis Unit
Press Units to set the horizontal unit and vertical unit of the cursor
measurement.
Press Hori.Unit to select "s", "Hz", "Degree" or "Percent".
s: when this unit is selected, in the measurement results, AX, BX and BX-AX
are in "s" and 1/|dX| is in "Hz".
Hz: when this unit is selected, in the measurement results, AX, BX and |dX|
