2.  Specify the measurement source 
Press Source and turn the multi-function knob   to select “LA”. You can also 
press Source continuously to switch the current source to “LA”. If “None” is 
selected, no cursor and measurement result will be displayed. 
 
Note: “LA” can only be selected when LA channels are currently turned on.  
 
When the measurement source is set to “LA”,  
  The display mode is fixed at “X” and cannot be modified (only the X cursors 
are displayed). 
  When the delayed sweep is turned off (pressing HORIZONTAL 
  SCALE 
can turn the delayed sweep on or off), Screen is set to “Main”

  When the delayed sweep is turned on (pressing HORIZONTAL    SCALE

  s: measure the time values at the X cursors (take the trigger position as 
reference). In the measurement results, CurA, CurB and △X all denote time.  
  Hz: measure the frequency values at the X cursors (take the trigger position 
as reference). In the measurement results, CurA, CurB and △X all denote 
frequency. 
  °: measure the phase values at the X cursors. In the measurement results, 
CurA, CurB and △X are all expressed in degree. 
The oscilloscope allows you to set the phase reference positions according 
to your need. After adjusting the X cursors to the desired positions (refer to
