Cursor setups Waveform cursors
Waveform cursors
From the Cursor menu, select Cursor Controls, or press the front panel Cursors button.
To use
1. To use the waveform cursors, click Waveform in one of the cursor control windows or from the
Cursors men
u, highlight Cursor Type, and then select Waveform from the submenu.
2. Use the multipurpose knobs to move the cursors.
3. Use the cursor Source drop-down list boxes to select the waveform you want to measure.
Behavior
Waveform cursors can measure parameters on the same waveform or on different waveforms. The cursors
measure
vertical parameters (typically volts) and horizontal parameters (typically time or frequency)
simultaneously. An X identifies the cursor location at the point where the cursors intersect the waveform.
The cur
sor readouts appear near the bottom of the graticule when a control window is open. When the
control windows are close d, the readouts appear at the bottom of the screen.
One Δ (
delta) value shows the voltage difference between the two cursors while the other Δ value shows
the time (or frequency) difference between the cursor values.
